Answer

Enabling Feed Tracking for the Service_Ticket__c object with Status and Resolution Notes selected, and adding the Create Task quick action to the Salesforce Mobile and Lightning Experience Actions section of the Service_Ticket__c Page Layout.
To track record field changes automatically in Chatter feeds, an administrator must enable Feed Tracking for the specific object (Service_Ticket__c) and select the desired fields (Status and Resolution Notes). Additionally, to make quick actions (such as Create Task) available on a record's Chatter publisher header, the action must be added to the Salesforce Mobile and Lightning Experience Actions section of that object's Page Layout.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Navigate to Setup > Feed Tracking, select the Service_Ticket__c object, check Enable Feed Tracking, and select the Status and Resolution Notes fields.
System-generated feed updates automatically appear on record Chatter feeds whenever those selected fields are modified.
Feed tracking configuration defines which object fields trigger automated system posts.
2
Navigate to Object Manager > Service_Ticket__c > Page Layouts and edit the assigned layout.
Placing the Create Task action in the Salesforce Mobile and Lightning Experience Actions area exposes it in the record feed publisher.
Record page publisher actions are dictated by the page layout configuration of that specific object.
