Agreed. Being able to access Ticket properties as a separate object I can choose in “lists” is very important, particularly as we are relying more on Service Hub.
And agree with others that “Number of Associated Tickets” needs to be a number on both the Contact and Company record as default properties that we can easily access. There’s default contact properties like this for Company and Deal related activity, but rollup default properties on the Contact record for Tickets has been neglected so far.
