Custom table not appearing in Transform Map Target Table (but another similar table does)

[Tejas Adhalrao]

Hi everyone,

I’m facing an issue in ServiceNow with Transform Maps.

I created two custom tables in my scoped application:

• x_awards

• x_national_service

When creating a Transform Map:

• x_awards appears in the Target Table list 

• x_national_service does NOT appear 

i have checked , 

• Both exist physically

• Both are active

• Both are in the same scope

• compare XML

Step 1: Verify Application Access

1. Navigate to System Definition > Tables.

2. Search for and open the record for x_national_service.

3. Click on the Application Access tab.

4. Ensure the following checkboxes are selected:

   • Can read

   • Allow configuration (This is the critical flag for the Transform Map picker).

5. Click Update.

Step 2: Check for the "Abstract" Flag

1. On the same Table record, ensure the Abstract field is set to false.

2. Note: If "Abstract" is true, the table cannot hold records and will be filtered out of all Transform Map target lists.

Step 3: Refresh the Schema Cache

If the table still doesn't appear after the steps above:

1. In the Filter Navigator, type cache.do and press Enter.

2. Go back to your Transform Map and refresh the page. The table should now appear in the dropdown.

@Tejas Adhalrao 

if the table is part of your scope in which you are creating transform map then it should show

share some screenshots

Did you clear instance cache using cache.do and then logout and login again?
