Decision Table: How to use existing choices from outside the current (private) scope?

[thomaskennedy]

In my decision table I want to use existing choices from another table in the global scope (specifically, sys_choice values associated with alm_asset). But only tables defined in my private scope are listed. Here, I have a Choice field on the Inventory table, an Import Set Row table. This is of course not what I want. Is this normal?

@thomaskennedy 

you will have to open up sys_choice table to be accessible from other scope

If my response helped please mark it correct and close the thread so that it benefits future readers.

Ankur, sys_choice is accessible (for read) from all scopes. Is that what you refer to?

I also wish this was possible, would be so nice to be able to get a hold of things like incident priority and so on from a different scope.

But according to this video from ServiceNow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOZs0Qew7t8&ab_channel=ServiceNowCommunity

at 2:10 they talk about the choice input where you reference it from an existing field and it sounds like it's by design.

Hopefully they change this in a future update.
