<div dir="ltr">RT doesn't notify two users if they have both entered an editing screen for the same ticket, as you've discovered.<div><br></div><div>I'm not sure that many people generally see this as an issue though. If two people add commentary to the ticket, both comments are kept. If two people edit a ticket's fields at the same time, although the edits by the first person to submit are lost at the top, records of both sets of edits are permanently saved in the ticket's history. In my eight years using RT across five different installations, no one has ever raised this as an issue.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Is this strictly just a "what if" scenario for you, or is it causing problems? If it's causing problems, I'd love to know exactly how so that I can avoid those problems in my setups. I also wonder whether in your case, (company and/or RT) policy changes could help—e.g. "only ticket owners may modify a ticket's fields."</div>

<br>
Our current system, that I'm trying to replace, tells users when another user is editing the same ticket<br>
<br>
I tried editing one ticket with two users at the same time -- I could see no notice/indication that someone else was modifying that same ticket<br>
<br>
I've searched the web/wiki/docs -- I don't see anything about it<br>
<br>
I can't believe the most used ticketing software in the world can't/doesn't protect against multiple users editing the same ticket at the same time<br>
<br>
what am I missing ?<br>
