How to add a Related List on Change to link with Release and control visibility based on Phase

[Pratiksha KC]

I have a requirement in Release Management where I need to add a Related List on the Change record to link it with a Release.

Here’s what’s needed:

• If a Change is linked to a Release (or created from it), there should be a Related List on the Change record showing the Release number.

• The Related List should always be visible with the Edit option enabled.

• Change Manager/ITIL users should be able to click Edit (in native view) or Add (in Service Operations Workspace) to add a Release number.

• The list of Releases should only include those in Phase 1–4, but once Phase 4 (Gate 4 - Tested) is completed, the Release should not be visible for selection.

• The Related List should be editable only until the Change State = Scheduled (inclusive). After that, no further linking should be allowed.

• When a Change is created from a Release or added to a Release in the DRP tool, the linkage should appear automatically in both places (Change and Release).

Could someone please suggest the best way or configuration approach to achieve this (e.g., via relationship definition, business rule, or script include)?

Thanks in advance !

Hi @Nawal Singh 

Thanks for the response!

We have to create a related list on workspace. Digital release management module is on workspace.

Can you please help us here?

Hi @Pratiksha KC 

DPR is something that’s currently not available on the native view; it’s only supported in Workspace, and all UI Builder. Out of the box (OOTB), DPR provides linkage with Releases but offers very limited configuration options. However, if you update the DPR plugin, you’ll be able to see the additional capabilities.
