+# Incident priority set on insert only
+
+## What this solves
+Recurring imports often overwrite priority even after the service desk has triaged the ticket. This onBefore script sets priority only when a row is inserted. Updates pass through without touching priority.
+
+## Where to use
+Attach to your Incident Transform Map as an onBefore script.
+
+## How it works
+- Checks the Transform Map action variable for insert vs update
+- On insert, computes priority from impact and urgency
+- On update, does nothing to priority
+
