Creating a followup ticket from side conversation ignores recipient property

We have noticed that creating a followup ticket from a side conversation ignores recipient property.

This causes issues in multi-brand environments where the sender address from the previous ticket is not inherited.

 

The process is described in this article:

https://support.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/4408837750170-Understanding-follow-up-tickets-for-side-conversations

 

This creates a ticket that looks like this:

 

When we check the recipient property in the ticket api:

{"recipient": null}

 

This causes the side conversation in the new ticket to use the account default which is not correct.

+1 There needs to be far more control over the “recipient address” macros, triggers and automation. All need to have the option to control this. And there should be an admin setting that allows for a choice between “inherit" and “use default” recipient address.
