does child table inherit new field created in parent table ?

[Vineetha Rohra1]

I have created a custom table that extends 'cmdb_ci' table.

After that i created a field in the cmdb_ci table. This field is not available for the custom table that i created in step 1.

How to make it available to all the tables which are extending cmdb_ci ?

i mean how to make that field available to all those tables to whom cmdb_ci is the parent ?

Hi Vineetha,

Task and cmdb_ci tables are parent tables, these table properties are inherited by child tables when u extends parent table while you creating custom table.

You will need to declare a new Glide Record "extension table" and get it using the sys_id in parent. This object should then have the custom fields.

Please refer these links:

Thanks & Regards,

I think what Vineetha was saying was that they already created a table that extends the parent table, but they made new custom fields for the parent table after that. The way I understand it they're asking if there's a way to "update" the child table so that it inherits the parent table's new custom fields, without needing to make a whole new child table.

Yes Michel, this is what i meant, is there any way to do it

Hi Vineetha,

It is really a nice feature that I come to know today, Adding fields in Parent table is a low-impact change in Servive-now. I hope we may need to do configure somewhere.

But I found other way check if it helps,
