Update sets on ui actions

[XYD23]

I have two instances with same ui action, but code and conditions are different in both instances, now I want to change name of ui action only . So I need to use update set to from one to another . How to change only name through update set and nothing other than name should change.

Hi @XYD23 

Update Sets are only one option which may be too expensive in your case. You also can export the respective record as XML and import that XML file in the target instance. This can be performed with only some clicks.

Please refer to the excellent explanation at https://developer.servicenow.com/dev.do#!/guides/vancouver/now-platform/tpb-guide/xml_data_transfer_...

Yeah I know, I only need to change name of ui action but other configurations are different those should stay the same

Hi @XYD23 

unfortunately, you always only can overwrite the complete record and not individual fields with an Update Set or XML import. 

In your case, I only see the option to perform the change manually and then later to overwrite the complete record with the latest version from a lower instance.

Any other ways using import and export XML itself.?
