KB Summary by Now Assist

Description

When using a chat action to create a record like an incident/case, the new record will have the chat entries as comments with no accurate timestamp - all the entries will have the same time as the first. 

Only the chat entries after the creation of the record will have the timestamp accurate.

Steps to Reproduce

Screenshot attached, showing the issue.

1- As any user, go to a connect support queue and initiate a chat
2- In a separate browser, as an agent, accept the chat and start a conversation with the other user.
3- Create a case incident from the chat actions
4- Realize all the chat entries in the created record will have the same timestamp

Workaround

After carefully considering the severity and frequency of the issue, and risk of attempting a fix, it has been decided to not address this issue at this time. We do not make this decision lightly, and we apologize for any inconvenience. If you have any questions regarding this problem, contact ServiceNow Customer Support.

We are aware of this difficulty and other related issue. As such, the Activity Stream is in the midst of a redesign that will solve this issue. A redesign of the magnitude will take time and we ask for your patience.
