The issue might occur when a request is raised by a user without a valid user record in the system, resulting in the 'opened_by' field being set to 'system'. 2. Check for Business Rule which executes prematurely before the request is fully created, causing a race condition and a unique key violation error, which leaves the 'opened_by' field empty or incorrectly set to 'system'.

Increase the order of this Business Rule from 100 to 10,000 to ensure it runs after the request (REQ) is fully created, avoiding timing conflicts. Verify the fix by testing in the development environment and confirming the 'Opened by' field populates correctly with the actual user instead of 'system'.
