I want to import a whole Table from Source instance to Target Instance. What updates should I need to capture in an update set so the form design, layout, acl/roles customization and everything will look same on the Target Instance
In Source Instance they imported that table from Push or Pull mechanisms and we have multiple update set in source instance, so I am not able to get all the details through sys_update_xml.list table.
I have to capture everything from start, the question is what I need to capture so the form will look same on the Target Instance.

Hello @Saurav Bhardwa2
Please follow below steps.
- Go to the System Definition --> Tables and export the table record as XML and import in other instance.
- Go to sys_dictionary.LIST .Filter the entries for the table name exported in the step 1. Export as XML and import in other instance.
- You also need to go to sys_documentation and export the columns for this table, and then import it.
- Go to System Definition --> Modules . Filter the module you want to move.Export as XML and import in other instance.
- Now you need to export all configurations like Business rule, client script etc used for the table and import them in other instance.
If you want to move the records created in that table then like wise you need to export and import.
Please mark it as Helpful/Correct according to its impact.

Hello @Saurav Bhardwa2
Thats because the form layouts for the specific table has not been imported.
Please follow the KB article below:
https://support.servicenow.com/kb?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0744432
You need to move the below records as well for the table in question here to the target instance.
