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.

@matthew_hughes,

That is fine, but it is possible to be used where you may not expect.

Try using this script to find where it is referenced in which table:

var searchText = "BCHMetaData";

var tables = [
    "sys_script_include",
    "sys_script",
    "sys_ui_action",
    "sys_ui_page",
    "sys_processor",
    "sys_ui_policy",
    "sys_client_script",
    "sys_security_acl",
    "sys_security_acl_script",
    "sys_transform_map",
    "sysauto_script",
    "sys_trigger",
    "sys_hub_action_type_definition"
];

for (var i = 0; i < tables.length; i++) {

    var table = tables[i];

    var dict = new GlideRecord("sys_dictionary");
    dict.addQuery("name", table);
    dict.addQuery("internal_type", "CONTAINS", "script");
    dict.query();

    while (dict.next()) {

        var field = dict.element.toString();

        var gr = new GlideRecord(table);

        if (!gr.isValidField(field))
            continue;

        gr.addQuery(field, "CONTAINS", searchText);
        gr.query();

        while (gr.next()) {
            gs.print(
                table + "." + field +
                " -> " + gr.getDisplayValue() +
                " [" + gr.getUniqueValue() + "]"
            );
        }
    }
}

I checked in my PDI using other Script include and it worked well.
