If the agreement override is not present then the customer override will apply. For an agreement to be set on a ticket type you will need to attach the agreement field to the field list of the ticket type and make sure the visibility is set appropriately:</p><p><img src="https://halo.haloservicedesk.com/api/attachment/image?token=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJpZCI6ImQyZWZmNmZhLWVmZDMtNDg3ZS1hOTI5LWQyNGExZjA1YWEwNCJ9.FMClRL4XD3dSvr3_dzoTnGgG9hO7lxjle2SoA6vhmjw" class="fr-fic fr-fil fr-dib" width="1029" height="855"></p><p><strong><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Fig 12.
