Terje, The behavior you describe is correct. Once a Service Target has completed processing it will not be removed from the ticket. The reason is this: the service level goal that was being tracked has either been Met or Missed and that metric should remain attached to the ticket. In your example, the ticket was Critical and the service level commitment was in place at that time. If the SVT is not Met then the ticket should accurately reflect that this is the case. Even if it was truly a "High" ticket, then it should have been acted upon (and changed to "High") within the Critical timeframe.
E.g.: Say you have a 2 hour goal for Critical and 4 hour goal for High tickets. If you get a Critical ticket and it takes 2 1/2 hours for someone to look at it, then you have failed to address that ticket in time. If, however, you look at the ticket in 1 1/2 hours and determine it is a "High" ticket and change it accordingly, then the Critical SVT will detach and you will have bought yourself 2 more hours to address the ticket. So, you cannot detach Met or Missed SVTs, only ones that have not hit their goal time.

Problem: The incident got a set of SLM's attached. The support engineer changes some of the conditions for the SLM - therefore an new set of SLM will attach. Let's say the support engineer updated urgency from Critical to High. The critical service targets is already attached to the incident. After the change of urgency you got two sets of service targets attached. Old service target will be updated to detached but only of the old service target is not met or missed. Here comes the problem. We want all service targets to be detached not only those how have not met their due date. This sounds like a simple change. Of some reason I am unable to find the right solution. I have done some logging and looked into the workflow - but I can not find the right place to make the change. Any suggestions?
