Case automatically changing ownership

Posted on by

We have facing issue from today where case is automatically changing ownership to service account. I checked one of the previous error on this forum and found something related to relationship but I can check and verify that my contact - case relationship is already as cascade none as specified. 

Is there any troubleshooting we can do? I already checked and could verify that none of the flows are calling this as most of the cases (almost 99%) are resolved and there are no flows where they are triggered or anything.

    RE: Case automatically changing ownership

    Hi Kavish,

    We have 4 types of relationship behavior as given below.

    • Parental: this forces the Cascade All effect to all the individual behaviors
    • Referential: this forces the Cascade None effect to all the individual behaviors except Delete which is locked to Remove Link
    • Referential, Restrict Delete: this forces the Cascade None effect to all the individual behaviors except Delete which is locked to Restrict
    • Configurable Cascading: this allows you to define the individual behaviors independently

    Individual Behaviors

    • Assign – the record owner changes
    • Share  – the record is shared with another user
    • Unshare – the record is unshared with another user
    • Reparent – the referencing attribute of a parental relationship is changed
    • Delete – the record is deleted
    • Merge – the record is merged with another record

    For Assign, Share, Unshare, and Reparent the options are:

    • Cascade All – the change is applied to all associated records
    • Cascade Active – the change is applied to all associated records that are active
    • Cascade User-Owned – the change is applied to all associated records owned by the user who owns the original record
    • Cascade None – the change is not applied to any other records

    For OOB relationship of account/contact and case, behavior type is Parental, default option of Assign behavior is Cascade All, which means that all the related cases are also assigned to the new account/contact owner when you assign the account/contact.

    Hi,

    If you see the definition of Parental relationship, it says any action take on parent record will take affect to child records too -

    Parental

    o In a parental relationship between two entities, any action taken on a record of the parent entity is also taken on any child entity records that are related to the parent entity record. if you delete a record in the parent entity, the related child entity records are also deleted; or if you share a parent entity record, the related records from the child entity are also shared. All option are disable for Parental relationship

    Hello,

    I have few questions, hopefully you could answer.

    I was trying to think how relation between case and contact, case and account is affecting the owner which is entirely different

    Can this cause any further repercussions.

    We have these set to parental type behavior set. I am just trying to understand what changing it will do. And why it will work.

    Hi Kavish,

    This is most likely due to the cascade setting of the relationship.

    As you mentioned, you have checked contact, have you checked account?
