Hi Ryan, The criteria that fires the workflow really does matter but for the sake of discussion lets use ('Priority' = "Critical") AND ('Status < "Pending") AND 'Submit Date < ($TIMESTAMP - 4 hours) . An escalation looks for incidents that meet this criteria and on a match sets the field 'Create Problem' to Yes. Then using something like ('DB.Create Problem' = $NULL$ and 'TR.Create Problem' = Yes), workflow creates the problem investigation.
I could do a push field directly to the Problem Investigation but I need to relate it to the Incident that fired the workdflow.

What criteria needs to be met before the Problem Investigation is auto created? Example: 5 Incidents created within a 24 hour period with the same classifications and pertain to the same issue? Or perhaps an event correlating engine traps a number of similar events that all lead to a failure of a specific network node? The possibilities are endless.... You speak of making an association....would this be to a primary incident that has 1 or more duplicates....or another entity? This type of information would help in determining the best way to approach the auto creation and association of a problem investigation. It can certainly be done. Ultimately, if your criteria is met and you have a parent entity with a unique identifier (assuming this is another arsystem form) the problem investigation can be created along with an association to it. Whether or not this is accomplished using active links or filters depends on your requirement of meeting the criteria and what that entails. Hope this helps, Ryan.

Could be executed by filters or active links. Is there a way to do that. Of course it would be ideal if this was something in ITSM that just needed to be turned on rather than constructing new. Probably the hard part is creating the association. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
