These lines needed to be commented out to allow assignment rules to function as intended.

Identify and comment out hard-coded lines in record producer, inbound email actions, and business rules that force tickets to be populated with "assigned to" and "Assignment Group". 2. Ensure assignment rules are tested on incident records where the 'Assigned to' and 'Assignment Group' fields are blank, as required for assignment rules to function properly. 3. Verify that no conflicting workflows or automation are overriding assignment rules by deactivating inbound actions and testing record creation.
