Symptoms
- An incident was closed with "Knowledge" check-box checked, yet no new knowledge article was created in "draft" state
Release
Kingston Patch 7
Cause
The user who closed the incident did so via an e-mail response. Therefore, this is expected, OOB (Out of Box) behavior.
Resolution
As mentioned above, the behavior seen is the same in an OOB (Out of Box) instance. When an incident is closed via an e-mail response, even with "Knowledge" checked, no new knowledge article will be created.
To avoid this behavior, the user who is closing the incident should be at a desktop or laptop and logged in and authenticated to the Platform. Then they can manually close out the incident and the expected knowledge article will be created.
