"rehome initiated" tag is carried on to follow up tickets

Problem Statement

What is the problem?

It seems that ZD default behavior is to carry on tags from a previous ticket to the new follow-up. That includes the “rehome initiated” tag.

Why is this a problem?

The new follow ticket gets picked up with a new assignee that sends a reply, not knowing about the tag, then when the customer replies, the ticket gets unassigned.

Proposal

I believe we should clean up the "rehome initiated" tag when closing the tickets to avoid this problem, as it would be a harder workaround to ask SEs to check for it and remove when picking up follow ups.
