I have added a boolean attribute "IsEscalation" (our internal term, not to be confused with LDSD "Escalation Points") to Incident>Assignment. I want to flag any Assignment that was made by an Analyst to someone outside that Analyst's Group. For example, we might have the Help Desk look at a problem with a classroom AV system, not be able to figure it out, then make an Assignment to the Group that's responsible for escalated support of those systems (or a specific Analyst in that Group). I want to set this boolean to True if this occurs, and leave if False if the Assignment is made within the Current User's Group.
I currently have a Condition that checks if the Latest Assignment Group is equal to the $CurrentGroup$ macro. If "Yes" then I just proceed back to "In Progress." If "No" then I send an email to the Latest Assignment User's Manager (so they're aware they are being brought in). But I can't figure out how to also "flip" this boolean at that point. Possibly, that can be a calculation field instead, but how would I do that, and WHEN would the calculation be made? I'm a bit fuzzy on that. Any pointers are appreciated.
Thanks,
Charles
