Why did CMDB CI Assignment Group field got relabeled to Change Group?

[FYL]

Hi folks,

Does anyone know why this field was relabeled from Assignment Group to Change group when upgrading from Paris to Quebec?

I can't seem to find any release notes that describe this change.

 Thanks

Ok I have found the answer. It was changed as part of the CSDM update in Quebec.

Synchronize CSDM Attribute Data

• Support and Change Groups: By using dynamic CI groups, data synchronization enables you to manage data that cannot be discovered. The values in the Support Group and Change Group (previously labeled Assignment Group) fields in the cmdb_ci table are synchronized with their related dynamic CI groups and with all the CIs that are contained as part of that dynamic CI group object.
• Managed by Group: Enables you to automatically identify the group responsible for managing the details of a CI. Within the CI Class Manager, you can now identify the Managed by Group field for CIs on a class-by-class basis. All CIs within a class will have their Managed by Group field populated based on the value specified in the CI Class Manager. Also, for those CIs that are managed by a Technical Service Offering, the Managed by Group field is first synchronized with its dynamic CI group. This field is then synchronized with the CIs that are part of that dynamic CI group, overwriting the entry from the CI Class Manager.
