Is it possible to raise the 37 option limit on check boxes?
If i add a checkbox in a resource, i am limited to 37 options. I really need more than 37 options (i know it is a lot). We use it to give access to different sections in a tool and we really like to give the requesters the opportunity to use only 1 request. An multiline field is not an option, because i have made a script that deals with the approvals for each section and gives access to each section after an approval is given.

[SDF-59933] Send out Survey when Resolved is used
Turns out we've been using our closed statuses wrong for a very long while. We've been using Resolved and leaving it at that. Not knowing that it needs to move to Closed at some point. I've played with the Auto-Close settings, but none of the techs or managers like having to pick a Closure Code when Resolving a ticket that way. So we're sticking with Resolved. I was told to look into getting Survey's to a useable place. But after a quick test it looks like a Survey will ONLY be sent out when a request

While Edge is trying to be a replacement for IE, a lot of websites still hasn't fully adopted
