I don't believe this is an out of the box field that is populated from interactions and is likely being defaulted to self-service via the requests workflow/flow. This post might be able to assist.

Hi @priyadharis
I think this might be expected behavior, but could you please share a screenshot and let me know which item youāre using? Are you creating an Incident?

Well, am in service operations Workspace
i open an interaction
create request from there
Service catalog page is up
There are 2 ways to search an item
1) Normal navigation through category and create request -- everything is fine -- Contact type on ritm is set as Chat
2) Typeahead search - where we enter the name of the item we need to place an order for and then submit the request .. there the ritm created does not have the contact type as Chat instead as Self service
we do see there is a business rule (no conditions but parent interaction field needs to be captured from prev step) to add the contact
with the typeahead search that field is not captured, hence that BR does not get executed

Hi @priyadharis
I tried both approaches, and in both cases, the Contact Type didnāt populate in the RITM. It might be dependent on the Interaction Type. Please check based on the Interaction Typeāwhether itās 'chat' or something else.
