Blank Assignee Field during Auto Assignment

Products

• CA Service Desk Manager
• CA Service Management - Service Desk Manager

Issue/Introduction

Trying to use location based auto assignment, but when a ticket is created the group is changed, but also an assignee is added at random.  We would like to see if the assignee could be left blank and someone in the queue can pick it up from that team.

Environment

Release : 17.3 and above

Component : SDM - Classic UI

Resolution

Currently, the auto-assignment functionality will result in the assignee field being populated.  It is not possible to assign only the group field and leave the assignee field blank.
