+## v20260120-03-autotask-deletedby-name-runlink
+
+### Changes:
+- Extended deleted ticket audit handling by resolving DeletedByResourceID to resource details.
+- Stored deleted-by audit information on job runs:
+  - autotask_ticket_deleted_by_first_name
+  - autotask_ticket_deleted_by_last_name
+- Updated Run Checks UI to display:
+  - “Deleted by: <First name> <Last name>”
+  - Fallback to “Deleted by resource ID” when name data is unavailable.
+- Ensured deletion date/time continues to be shown in Run Checks.
+- Restored legacy ticket behavior by automatically linking new job runs to existing internal tickets (TicketJobRun).
+- Ensured Autotask-linked tickets are inherited by new runs when an open ticket already exists for the job.
+- No changes made to Job Details view; audit data is stored for future reporting.
