Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Currently, the system has a provision to allow the users (end users) to select a ticket priority based on the list available.
Eg: Critical/Functional Query/Bug etc

However, as humans nature dictates, the customers will (and are) abusing this feature and marking every other ticket as Critical, causing unnecessary urgencies for trivial issues that, i: the user can solve them selves; ii: is actually Invalid/Out of Scope.

Describe the solution you'd like

What i recommend is a few configurable/customizable options like:

  • I need help with .....
  • Need Urgent Help with ......
  • How do i ......
  • Why is my Billing so high? ......
  • Wish i had this feature .......
  • This isn't supposed to work like this ..........

A few such options that the user can select while raising the issue instead of directly selecting the priority.
We can have a separate mapping doctype that we can map such options against a ticket priority in the system.
Eg:

  • I need help with ..... (Priority Service Request)
  • Need Urgent Help with ......(Priority Critical)
  • How do i ......(Priority Functional Query)
  • Why is my Billing so high? ......(Priority Investigation)
  • Wish i had this feature .......(Priority Feature Request)
  • This isn't supposed to work like this ..........(Priority Bug)

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the end-user ticket-creation flow and the existing priority options, then review how ticket priorities are configured; done means configurable user-facing choices map to priorities and end users no longer select priorities directly.
