Hello Everyone !!!
I hope u can help me witht this,

I would like to know if there is a way to to this:
Background :

I created a new table called "Incident Requirement evidence" , which is located as a related list in the Incident form.


Situation:

In the form of the new table "Incident Requirement evidence" i need to have a field called "Incident Number" which has to be the same value as the "Incident Number" of the parent table where the requirement will be created .

(Parent Table) = Incident

(Child Table) = Incident Requirement evidence

I dunno how i can do that , im kinda new in Sn , !! Thnks to everyone

Have a good day.!

Hello,

If you've already created the new table, then you'd create the field on the new table of type reference and set it to the Incident table.

You'd have to decide the process when a parent incident record has a child incident requirement evidence record. Once you've defined that process, you'd create a new incident requirement evidence record and then set that "incident table" field to the parent's value (possibly by business rule?).

You're also with a consulting firm that is a ServiceNow partner? I'd recommend speaking to your peers as well since you have that additional resource.
