Hello guys!

Thank you.

How other ticketing systems handle this is by using Resolved and Closed statuses. Resolved can be reopened until X number of days and Closed tickets can not. Just food for though.

No for now.

Hey @freescout-helpdesk, thank you for your answer.
That would be a great feature, could have a "lock" option and if the user reply to the thread the system could send an email with custom message.

@adamsewell That would be a great solution!

That would be a great solution, also integrated with workflows to set the status automatically.

Maybe a workaround is to use a workflow:

  • If closed: tag as stay_closed
  • If tagged as stay_closed and is open: close it
