Overview

Creating new records from a list with saved filter can have different 'Opened by' and 'Created by'. End users may report this behavior as intermittent if they create records through different means.

'Opened by' and 'Created by' does not match

1. Determine how the record was created
   Common methods of creating incidents include:
   • Through the standard UI
   • Record producers
   • Service Catalog items (with possible Workflow)
   • Inbound Email Action
2. If record was created through standard UI, check if there is a filter.
3. If yes, you can change the preset values from the saved filter as needed.

Note: This behavior is not specific to Incident table.
