Parent and child cases closure, is documentation right?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 25

Hello,

Do you know where I could configure that feature?

Exactly, I am looking for that Note:

I don't find a "None" option and the web UI configuration (Config -> Service Admin) of Parent and child case requires me to add an option, Close all child cases when parent case is closed or Don't allow parent case closure until all child cases are closed.

    Hello,

    I tried all your advices and I can't close cases independently.

    Finally I asked my colleagues and they found a worflow that is checking when you are closing a parent case.

    Thanks a lot!

    Hi CML,

    In general, if you select blank option, parent and child cases are closed independently of each other.

    If not, you can try to clear browser cache or use privacy mode of the browser to test again.

    Think I could see your problem, when I go to Settings->Service Management->Parent and Child Settings

    When I select and save an option, I was not able to reselect the blank entry.and then save.  However, playing with the dropdown a few times it eventually let me select the blank entry and save.

    (note the 'None' is the blank/empty entry not an item with a label = "None").

    Hi,

    I'm sorry, I didn't give the source of the information. I copied from:

    docs.microsoft.com/.../define-settings-parent-child-cases

    In that article you can find how to configure with Customer Service Hub or Customer Service App.

    I know the Customer Service Hub config and I have changed to blank option, but behaviour of parent and child cases is the same that "Don't allow parent case closure until all child cases are closed" option.

    I asked about Customer Service App config because is the section where the Note appears, but "None" option doesn't exist and I can't change in legacy web UI neither new UI.

    I want to change parent and child cases to close independently and Microsoft Docs explains how to do, but I haven't achieved yet.

    Thanks a lot!

    Hi CML,

    If you in this document, you will find another description about the feature of customer service hub above your screenshot.

    Apart from two options that document shows, I find that it is blank by default in the Parent Child Case Settings.

    pastedimage1606967884097v2.png

    The blank option has the same Effects of the ‘None’ that screenshot you provide, which means that parent and child cases are closed independently of each other.

    They have moved the settings recently.

    Inside the Customer Service Hub app, the menu at the bottom of the left column has a Service Management item, after selecting that Area there is a menu item Parent Child Case Settings
