Hello.
I am trying to add more fields to attestations and risk assessments so it would be easier to the entity owners to answer them. However this is not proving too easy.
I found couple of threads about the subject:
https://www.servicenow.com/community/grc-forum/show-fields-for-an-attestation/m-p/1315320/page/3
and
These both direct to go to Table titles and create a new entry there. Lets say I want to handle the attestations first. I create a new entry for the control table while I am in the policy&compliance module. I add the field "description" in the Fields list. I insert script into the script section. Both showed in the picture. This should update the attestation, however nothing happens in the attestation. Even for new ones when I attest a control again.
Can someone validate that does this still work in Utah? I tried in customer instance and own PDI but no luck. Or am I doing something wrong? Is there a better way? I feel this is a subject that ServiceNow should document on.
Document title record
No change in attestation

Ok, so I don't know what is happening but after logging back to my instance after the night this is now working. But I noticed another problem. When the entity name is really long it is getting cut on the "Take assessment" UI page for the risk assessment. See picture. Any ideas how this can be modified?

Hi Tover,
The reason why the Entity is showing only 32 characters (truncated characters) is because the field size in in the asmt_assessment_instance table is set to 32 characters. This is the why, when the assessment is generated, it is capturing only the first 32 characters of the Entity name instead of the complete name. I hope that answers your questions.
Thanks,
Ramu Neelam

Hi @Tover Puomi ,
Please check your screenshot I am able to control the description after your change. Is this not what you are looking for?
Thanks,
Naveen

Hi @Tover Puomi, You can also write some html script if you want to format the additional fields that you added in the Attestation form. The Entity length issue might be fixed in the future family releases but it's up to you if you want to alter the length to 100 characters that is the name field length in the Entity table.
Thanks,
