Data policies override

[roy_dreijling]

Hi,

I am trying to set up data policies on cmdb(or cmdb_ci) level and use the inherit mechanism.

However on cmdb_ci_computer and extends I need a slightly different policy because of virtual.

There is a (hidden) field on data policy "overrides" but it does not seem to work. The data policy on cmdb level is still enforced even though I set a data policy on cmdb_ci_computer that overrides the one on cmdb.

[I want serial_number to be mandatory if status has a certain value, in the entire cmdb except for on computer and extends, where it should be mandatory if not Virtual]

Does anyone have an idea? Should it be possible to use this hidden "override" field on data policies?

The mandatory checkbox on dictionary is not an option as it is only enforced if the field is actually on a form.

Thanks!

🙂 I tried that but I need to exclude extends as well. I think it is not practical to exclude all current (and future) extends.

Would be nice if there was a 'is not a' operator simular to 'INSTANCEOF' in queries.

I'm running into the same issue. It appears that Data policies will still process the higher level policy after the current table's. I was hoping the override would stop this, but it doesn't appear to function. Was a solution ever found?
