Hiho,
we are currently heavily using the domain-based assignment feature in Zammad, since we have a lot of contact with Universities. Many of them use subdomains for their faculties and departments, and there the domain-based assignment does not apply.
So I want to enhance this feature to allow subdomain matching on a per-organization basis. There are two ways this could be implemented, and I wanted to ask the devs which one they prefer.
**1. Add a new boolean**
I could add a new field called _include subdomains_ with a `yes` and `no` toggle. That field would be active and evaluated based on whether _domain-based assignment_ is enabled or not.
**2. Change the current `boolean` to an `int` with `enum`**
This would implicate a change of the current field from a `boolean`to an `int`:
- 0 = no = no
- 1 = yes = yes
- 2 = yes\_include\_subdomains = yes, include subdomains
Before I start working on this, what would be your preferred way of implementing this?
Best
Toni

There’s a feature request somewhere in this Community or on Github regarding Domain Based assignment. It doesn’t cover subdomains, but rather looks at “several different domains”.
I personally believe both would be good and important in todays time. However, I cannot decide.
Maybe @YetAnotherGerrit has an answer or at least opinion on that.

I think the best solution would be to allow multiple entries and wildcards. This way it could look like: `zammad.org` `*.zammad.org`
This would allow for most of the uses-cases.
Because another common example is that a company has several TLD’s as well.

So the domain field should accept multiple space or comma separated values then?

There is a UI element, e.g. used for operators, that does not need seperation characters:
This can be used here as well.
