Problem

You sent an email to the Service Management email channel to create a new request. You realized that you've missed out something in the email and you would like to quickly send another email to add other information to the request that will be created. However, the second email is created as a new request.

 

Diagnosis

Environment

  • Mail server is an Exchange server

Diagnostic Steps

  • The second email has empty mail headers

Cause

Due to the empty mail headers, the associated request cannot be identified and thus the second email is being treated as a new request.

Workaround

It'd be better to wait for the request created notification from Service Management to arrive at the mailbox and reply to it than to reply to the previously Sent email.

  • Alternatively, compose a new email and mention the issue key in the email subject. 

    This will only work on JSD v3.5.0 and above if you are not the current Reporter or Participant of the request since the fix of JSDSERVER-2373 - Getting issue details... STATUS
