How to Prevent an Automation From Reassigning a Case After a Manager Overrides It

A workflow may reassign a case based on its original routing rule after a manager has manually assigned it to a specialist. Repeated automation can undo human decisions and create ownership confusion.

What to check

Compare assignment audit history, workflow triggers, current priority and skill fields, and whether manual overrides are marked. Check for delayed events or retries that replay old routing logic.

Recommended next step

Respect an explicit override or require a fresh routing decision after relevant fields change. Record why assignment changed and test manager intervention against queued workflow events.
