Where is the 'BCHMetaData' Script Include referenced in ServiceNow?

[matthew_hughes]

In ServiceNow, I've had to make an amendment to the OOTB Script Include 'BCHMetaData' so that the 'Create sub-capability'  action is removed.. However, I don't feel comfortable doing this and would rather make a clone of the Script Include.

However, I need to know where the OOTB Script Include 'BCHMetaData' is currently be used or referenced so that I can make the amendments in those areas too to use my clone.

Hi @matthew_hughes,

You may cause unintended breaking of functionalities that would be hard to track and potentially creating technical debt, if you edit the OOB Script Include. 

Why not create a different script include and call it where your usecase needs it?

Hi @Ehab Pilloor  I've created a clone of the OOTB Script Include, but I just need to know where the OOTB Script Include is referenced within the EA Workspace

Hi @matthew_hughes,

You can search in script for every scriptable table. Search in BRs for Script contains BCHMetaData, Client Script contains BCHMetaData, Script Action contains BCHMetaData, etc.

I think you can do a full search in ServiceNow Studio, not sure how, but I think its possible to see in Studio where the Script Include is referenced.
