Custom field is not auto populated from control objective to control.

[chetanb]

Hello Community folks,

We have a custom field on Control objective & Controls. Whenever we link Control objective to Entity type, controls are created by populating all the OOTB fields except the custom field we have created.

As per our requirement, when controls gets created automatically that custom field should also populate from CO to controls.

As we have updated OOTB script include which called by client scripts on control, when we create controls manually then that custom field is being populated on form when we select control objective.

Only issue we are facing is that when controls are created automatically from control objectives.

If you have any pointers, we really appreciate your efforts.

Hi @chetanb ,

 I just investigated your issue, what i found is, it's an expected behaviour that any custom field on control objective will not reflect on aumatically generated controls after you attach entity type to the conytrol objective.

Look at the below example, i cerated a fiels called"Custom" on control objective:

Now, when the respective controls gets created, i don't see that custom field:

This behaviour is controlled by a few Business rules namely:

Set "Creates controls automatically"

Item Generation Action on Activate

and Create controls for item

If you want to meet your requirement, you will need to opt for heavy customization using the above mnetioned BRs, which is not recommended.

Hello Chetan,

There is a OOTB business rule on Control "Copy fields from Content/document" and that will be executed when a Control record is created or updated. This business rule copies the information from the associate Control Objective/Risk Statement to the generated control and takes care of only the OOTB fields.

I am assuming that you have introduced some custom fields in Control Objective and also in Control and expecting that the custom fields values should be copied into the custom fields in the Control. If my assumption is correct then you need configure a custom business rule that will copy the custom fields values from Control Objective into the control record.

Please let me know if that resolve your question.

Thanks,
