Hello Community,

 

                          I have created one field named 'owner' in cmdb_ci_hardware(Parent) table. cmdb_ci_ip_router is the child table for cmdb_ci_hardware. Field 'owner' is inherited from parent to child but the choices present in parent table were not inherited to child table.

Hi @Kavyasri,

 

Even though you can't see the choices under the child table [cmdb_ci_hardware], you should still be able to select the choices from the parent in the child record.

e.g.

CI tables are structured differently from other extended tables such as Task.

For example, if you open the Incident table and check the choices of the state field, you can see all the choices of Task extended tables.

e.g.

However this behaviour is not the same on the CI tables due to its different architecture, see the doc for the details - https://docs.servicenow.com/bundle/washingtondc-platform-administration/page/administer/platform-per...

 

Cheers
