i see that tickets include a `linked_objects` property, but i cannot tell how to modify this property via the API. using the API, i can create two tickets -- a back office ticket, and a customer ticket -- using the `create a ticket` endpoint. but how do i then link them together, so the customer ticket appears in the back-office ticket’s `linked_objects`?

I would like to add to this question as we are facing the same issue. We are unable to understand how to link a Customer Ticket with Backoffice Tickets through the API. It is possible to do this via the interface, but we can't figure out how (or if it's possible) to do it via the API.

Hey @Igor Serebryany & @Jexon - at the moment, it’s not possible to link Tickets via the API by updating the linked_objects, but this is a great suggestion! We take input from our customers with great consideration when creating new features and refining our current solutions, so I've gone ahead and added this to our Product Wishlist. You can search and upvote existing requests or create new requests 🙌

​@Bernice Hi, any updates regarding this feature? It’s not practical to use the API to create BO tickets if I can’t link them to the relevant conversation. 😔

@Yevgeniy Borisovsky It’s Mat from the Support Engineering Team 😀

There is no updates if it comes to that feature. 
Have you submitted/upvoted existing feature request already?

We would really like to see that feature implemented. We want to automatically link conversations and customer tickets to an existing tracker ticket through workflows or the API, without needing our support team to manually handle the process.
