Hello, I would like to prevent Discovery from updating a field if the field has already been populated. There are multiple sources and I really don't care who populated the field if there is already a value.
I created a Reconciliation Rule with Discovery as the Source, priority 1, with the field selected in the attributes, and a filter condition where the field is empty.
Will that do the trick or is that going to create a scenario where no other source can not update it? Do I need to add all the other possible sources to the rule even though the only factor I'm concerned about is if the field is populated.
Thank you.

you have to setup reconciliation rules .
rule 1
discovery source:- SG-SCCM
priority :-1
attributes- description // you can select multiple
rule 2
discovery source:- SG-Intune
priority :-2
attributes- description //can select multiple
Create Data refresh rule
discovery source :- SG-SCCM
days:- 5000
After creation,
first run the SG-SCCM data source.
and then SG-INTUNE
you will notice SG-intune will not update the attributes example here for 5000 days- "description"
why 5000?
logic behind reconciliation is that whenever data passes through IRE, an entry for each CIs attribute is created in cmdb_datasource_last_update table.
So whenever the IRE runs ,reconciliation checks data source and last updated time of the attribute and according to that second data source priority updates/not update it as per data refresh rules.
Example:-
description was updated by SG-SCCM today , so from 5000 days from today (if its still stale till that time) SG-INTUNE will update this field.
and since your SG-SCCM will run on weekly/monthly basis , the description field will always be up to date and second priority INTUNE data source will never have chance to update this.
SG-INTUNE will create CIs as it does.
Reconciliation is for updation.
If it works for you please mark answer as correct or let me know in case of issues.
