Service Requests submitted by users auto resolving?

We are noticing recently that service requests (we call them Forms internally) that are submitted by our users are being auto-resolved on submission, which then hides them from our queue as they are not pending assignment or new. These aren't complicated workflows either, our most common one is just for submitting a request for a license for software. 

Is this happening to anyone else? I'm hoping this is just a simple thing that changed that I'm missing.
This has only been happening over the last few months, earlier this year all our service catalogue items were working as intended. 

What is supposed to happen: 

1. Requestor (regular user) fills out the service request (form) 

2. Service request shows in helpdesk queue as Pending Assignment 

3. Helpdesk member can grab the request as needed from the queue, respond to the request, and resolve when complete.

What is happening: 

1. Requestor (regular user) fills out the service request (form) 

2. Service request shows in helpdesk queue for a few seconds before the status changes to Resolved 

3. Resolution shows that the request was marked as resolved by the user who submitted the request. 

4. Helpdesk has to go to All Incidents  and change the status back to Pending Assignment to put back in the queue.

I've also tried to add setting the State to Pending in the process section but this didn't correct the issue 

Something else that I've noticed is that there is no obvious Submit button on the portal view, the only way the service request can be submitted is with that top right button, ours is Forms but I'm assuming that the name reflects what you choose to call that section on the portal view.

  • Howdy  ,

    What's likely happening is that the Process is empty or complete. Service Requests have a feature that allows them to resolve automatically when all steps in the process are done, and that means if there are no steps added, they think they're done. To avoid the automatic resolution in your scenario, either disable the feature or build steps in the process that require action. For example, add a Task that says "Work Complete", that way a technician ticks the box and then the process will be complete. Only after ticking the box will it be considered done, so your technicians will have control.

    To disable the feature, navigate to Setup>Global Settings>Service Desk Settings and toggle off "Auto set state to Resolved at workflow completion"

    I hope this helps!

  • Thank you! I've disable the auto resolve and that fixed the issue
