Updating group attribute under cmdb_ci table

Hello Everyone!

 

I need to update group filter criteria for following fields under cmdb_ci table as that should be applicable to all the underlying CMDB tables/classes -

Change Group

Approval Group

 

I was planning to use dictionary overrides to update the reference qualifier for these 2 fields. But I can see that this cmdb_ci table is not appearing under Table field. And I can that it shows Base Table as cmdb_ci only. I believe the only best way to do it is to modify the reference condition directly on this attribute it.

Also when I try to modify Approval group(change_control) field it shows below message. Can anyone help me understand what does it mean -

Your help is highly appreciated.

Hi @linda_richards 

A Dictionary Override allows you to modify field properties for a specific table that extends another table.

In your case, if you want to change the attribute for the parent table, you should make the change directly on the cmdb_ci table attribute, not on the child tables.
