    Hello -

    is there any way to auto populate the 'Primary Owner' field when creating an incident request with the user who is creating the incident?

    This would save our helpdesk a lot of time by not having to fill in the primary owner - as they are always going to be the primary owner.

    regards,

    You would need to create a custom workflow that triggers on incident creation that checks the CreatedByUser relationship and copies this to the PrimaryOwner relationship.

    For example:

    //emoIR contains your incident already
               
    //Created by user relationshhip Guid
    Guid relCreated = new Guid("df738111-c7a2-b450-5872-c5f3b927481a");

    //Firstly, get the CreatedBy User of emoIR               
    EnterpriseManagementObject emoCreatedByUser = null;

    foreach (EnterpriseManagementRelationshipObject<EnterpriseManagementObject> obj in
        emg.EntityObjects.GetRelationshipObjectsWhereSource<EnterpriseManagementObject>(emoIR.Id, TraversalDepth.OneLevel, ObjectQueryOptions.Default))
    {
        if (obj.RelationshipId == relCreated)
        {
            //Set created by user
            emoCreatedByUser = obj.TargetObject;
            break;
        }
    }

    if (emoCreatedByUser != null)
    {

        //Create new primary owner relationship
        ManagementPackRelationship relPrimaryOwner =
                            emg.EntityTypes.GetRelationshipClass(new Guid("42179172-3d24-cfc8-3944-b0a18f550214"));
        CreatableEnterpriseManagementRelationshipObject cemroPrimaryOwner =
            new CreatableEnterpriseManagementRelationshipObject(emg, relPrimaryOwner);

        //Set the source and target...
        cemroPrimaryOwner.SetSource(emoIR);
        cemroPrimaryOwner.SetTarget(emoCreatedByUser);
        cemroPrimaryOwner.Commit();
    }

    I copied the script to a custom workflow in a 2016 environment but it isn't working. Anyone who could tell me how to get this working? Scripting is not really my kind of thing...
