_Originally asked by Jillani Fazal on 19 June 2023 [(original question)](https://oldcommunity.exalate.com/questions/58502932)_

* * *

I have couple of questions.

I was able to get the Brand solution working, I just had to adjust the last line of code as brand\_id was a double for some reason.

```auto
replica."brand_id" = brand_id.toFloat().toInteger().toString()

```

Would it be possible to add firstSync to Zendesk outgoing? Would only like to send brand\_id of the first sync.

I only want it outgoing on first sync to avoid a call to be made on every synchronization, though I can live with this if not possible.

----------------------------------------------

```auto
replica.addedAttachments.collect

{it.internal = true; it}

```

worked wonderfully, attachments are only added as internal notes in Zendesk, thanks.

However, attachments added as internal notes in Jira are still sent to Zendesk and added as internal notes in Zendesk. I tried to update Jira outgoing as follows as I have with comments, but it did not have any effect. How can I only send attachments added in internal notes from Jira to Zendesk?

```auto
replica.attachments = issue.attachments.findAll{!it.internal)

```

-------------------------------------------------

For the following line of code where “Contact reasons” is a custom drop-down field.

```auto
issue.customFields."Contact reasons".value = "account_closure"

```

How can we set value for custom drop-down fields in Zendesk?

I would appreciate if the following questions are addressed. Thank you!

Hello, Account Management , might I ask you to replace the getPreviousJson function with this

```auto
def getPreviousJson = {
    def ttRepo = (syncHelper).twinTraceRepository
    def await = { f -> scala.concurrent.Await$.MODULE$.result(f, scala.concurrent.duration.Duration.apply(1, java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit.MINUTES)) }
    def orNull = { opt -> opt.isEmpty() ? null : opt.get() }
    def ttOptFuture = ttRepo.getTwinTraceByLocalIssueKeyFuture(connection, issueKey)
    def ttOpt = await(ttOptFuture)
    def tt = orNull(ttOpt)
//com.exalate.api.domain.twintrace.ITwinTrace tt = orNull(ttOpt)
    def lr = tt?.localReplica
    !lr ? null : ({
        def js = new groovy.json.JsonSlurper()
        def previousPayload = js.parseText(lr.payload)
        previousPayload.hubIssue
    })()
}

```

Please, let me know how it goes

Hi Serhiy,

Thanks for the workaround.

I am getting the following error when trying to use the workaround.

Please see screenshot attached.

Please let us know how to fix this.

Thanks,

BR,

Svein Tvedt

```auto
No such property: twinTraceRepository for class: zendesknode.services.node.hubobjects.NodeHelper 

```

UPDATED on Aug 9th due to feedback: [Zendesk - Brand](https://oldcommunity.exalate.com/questions/58502932/zendesk---brand)_(old community)_  
Hello, Account Management ,

Thanks a lot for asking this in community!  
I’ve got a work-around which may break in the future (since it relies on some private APIs) However the chances of this happening anytime soon are slim, since it has been working for the past 4 years:

```auto
def getPreviousJson = {
    def ttRepo = (syncHelper).twinTraceRepository
// com.exalate.persistence.twintrace.TwinTraceRepository ttRepo = ((com.exalate.replication.services.processor.SyncHelper)nodeHelper).twinTraceRepository
    def tt = ttRepo.getTwinTraceByLocalIssueKey(connection, issueKey)
//com.exalate.api.domain.twintrace.ITwinTrace tt = orNull(ttOpt)
    def lr = tt?.localReplica
    !lr ? null : ({
        def js = new groovy.json.JsonSlurper()
        def previousPayload = js.parseText(lr.payload)
        previousPayload.hubIssue
    })()
}

def previousReplica = getPreviousJson()
def firstSync = (previousReplica == null)

```

Happy Exalating!

Hi Account Management

Please try this in order to send the attachments in Zendesk as internal:

[Attachment in internal Zendesk comment ?](https://oldcommunity.exalate.com/display/exacom/questions/11340525/attachment-in-internal-zendesk-comment-)_(old community)_

For setting a value, please check this:
