Checklist Problems and Ideas
Good Day I really like the new Checklist function. However, I think there are a few things that could be improved. First, there is a character limitation to the Item Name, which limits us in describing what to do. It would be great if this limitation could be lifted. Second, I tried to put some of the information alternatively in the help text field, however most of the time it is not displayed. For example I added some URLs, which are not displayed when hovering over the information icon. It looks

Is there a way that a ticket can be placed on a 48 Hour hold then automatically resolve out on resolution? For example, I go to resolution, enter my resolution and select say 48 hour hold from the status. Then in 48 hours if all is well and there is no response to the contrary from the requester, the status goes to resolved and we are done. This would give the requester 48 hours to test without the need to reopen the ticket after it's been resolved. I know I can do this manually by going in, setting
