Zendesk Integration - track Duration

Currently, the Zendesk integration leaves a text note with the Start Time, End Time, and Duration of the call. The admin setup documentation instructs us to create custom fields on the Ticket object to track these values, but these values do not auto-populate. The RingCentral App should be able to push these values into the actual Ticket object fields as shown in the documentation, instead of just as a comment. Without these values, reporting and tracking around these metrics is not possible.

I have had the same experience. I wish this were fixed.

I also need to be able to give the ability to listen to call recordings when the link is available to my end users. Having only the admin be able to listen to the recorded calls is difficult. 
Same experience here as well. The admin guide is still live on the Support Center but 4 pages of it are useless unless the app starts populating those fields. I'm interested enough in this feature that I'd gladly help work on it, I have experience building Zendesk apps.

Use case: we are trying to correlate ticket categories (Zendesk custom field) to average call duration from RC.
Just adding a comment to bump this thread - I too can't get the fields to populate.
Hi Kris - I was able to get this resolved with the help of Ring Central. I'm not sure if they did anything on their end, but here's how I set up my fields:

Last Call Start
Last Call End
Last Call Duration
Outbound Dialed Number
Inbound Called RC Number

All of these are Text type fields. This made it work for us.
Awesome, thanks so much for replying @james hunyar - I was able to get this working as well.  If anyone at RC is listening, please update the Zendesk Admin Guide you guys have on your support site at: https://netstorage.ringcentral.com/guides/zendesk_adminguide.pdf
