Data Manager Certification Policies Assignment Options to Dynamic Field

[BH83401]

We're currently running Xanadu Patch 7.

I used the provided utility to convert our existing Data Certification schedules into the new Data Manager Certification policies. Previously, we assigned certifications to the "Product Owner" using the assign_to field in the cert_schedule.assign_to table.

However, in the new Data Manager policy configuration, the available assignment options seem limited to:

• Assigning to a specific user

• Assigning to a specific user group

It appears that the ability to reference a field such as "Product Owner" for dynamic assignment is no longer available. This change is going to dramatically effect the quality of tasks assigned to do this certification. 

Is there a workaround to achieve this kind of field-based assignment in the new setup?

This dot walking DOES work for other tables like cmdb_ci. 
It seems very random when it works and when it does not.

After install, I also tried to build a new certification with the product owner selected and then import it into Data Manager.  It did NOT keep the product owner field.

Support for dot-walking for task assignment in Data Manager policies was introduced in CMDB Workspace 7.4.1 ( February 2025 store release).
