HI @ServiceNow Use6 ,
I trust you are doing great.

Certain combinations of table characteristics are not possible due to the way tables are structured and defined within the system. Specifically, the combination of "Custom and Core" is impossible.

• Custom tables are those created by users or administrators to suit specific organizational needs.
• Core tables, on the other hand, are the default tables provided by ServiceNow as part of its standard platform.

Since a table cannot be both a default part of the ServiceNow platform (Core) and a user-created entity (Custom) at the same time, this combination is not feasible. The other combinations listed (Custom and Child, Base and Parent, Custom and Parent, Core and Base, Child and Core) are all possible within the ServiceNow architecture.

Hi @ServiceNow Use6 ,

Custom tables: This is the tables created by admins/developers during development.

Core tables: Core tables is created by ServiceNow and is part of the base system.

If my answer has helped with your question, please mark my answer as accepted solution and give a thumb up.

Best regards
