Add field to all child forms

Is there any way to add a field on one table (ex: parent table - base cmdb) and make it available on the layout to all child classes without going to each form to configure?

Hi Bryan,

There's a great thread on the community on this same topic. It share various options to tackle this problem:

Multiple forms with same form section

I hope this helps

Thanks,

Hi Bryan,

Form layouts are managed within the sys_ui_section table and its related tables sys_ui_element and sys_ui_form_section. You could write a script that automates the process of populating these tables.

Btw Bryan, you may just want to try to modify the form layout at the cmdb table or at the cmdb_ci table and see if the new/included field is on all the inherited forms.

I have tried it on the past and it hasn't work for me; still I have heard some people claiming in the community that it has worked for them.

Thanks,
