We have a custom field in our General Incident Report ticket, which is a multi-select relational list of users, filtered to include Management and Supervisors. This field is intended for users to document who they notified of the incident during their shift. I am trying to create a custom email notification, to keep that Supervisor up to date on the status of the ticket.

Since data population is still not a thing without workflow tabs for some reason, I can’t populate the CC field with the selection. Since I am limited to the query builder, which lacks a ‘contains’ or ‘like’ operator, custom escalation rules are off the table unless I want to create thousands of them.

Making the field a custom text box is not an option; we need consistency for reporting purposes. Replacing the ticket with a request type ticket will cause too much confusion for users and admins. Having the ability to create workflow tabs for incident templates could at least provide a tolerable workaround for the lack of proper notification support, but it doesn’t really address the core issue. I could instruct users to also select the appropriate Supervisor in the CC field, but then we’re adding unnecessary redundancy that users will ignore.

Is there a means of accomplishing this or are we just out of luck?
