We've had some confusion in a couple instances where someone created a lighthouse issue from a tender ticket but we couldn't figure out who. It would be helpful to identify the logged in user that created the ticket.

    I agree. I'll mention this to the dev team today.

    The integration is still a little bare bones. Ideally we'd store a key for every user so that the ticket is created in their name. However, this also greatly complicates how the settings are stored in the database.

    We thought about doing something where we set the user_id of the ticket, but I feel like this sets a dangerous precedence where users are able to spoof tickets as other users.

    Just to clarify I was less concerned about the identity in the
    lighthouse ticket (which I assumed was problematic) than I was about
    identifying who submitted it in the Tender ticket. You can't tell
    looking at the Tender ticket which Tender user hit the link to open
    the lighthouse ticket.

    I was hoping it would be simple to indicate in the Tender issue what
    user submitted it to lighthouse.

    As for the lighthouse ticket--I'm sure you considered this--it would
    help even if in the text of the ticket you could indicate the tender
    user, without changing the actual user id. It wouldn't need any
    additional configuration, but maybe that's problematic for other
    reasons...

    Just added this, it should be pushed over the weekend sometime. It now tracks a user_id on Tender's Ticket model.
