Best way to add security-related questions to CHG form without adding custom fields

[Aaron Struphar]

Hello, we have a business requirement to add 5 security-related questions to the CHG form, similar to the 'Planning' tab but they would like a new tab called 'Security' that would house these 5 questions. Obviously, this would be very easy to do while going with the custom field route - add a new section and 5 new fields. However, we have already added quite a few custom fields and we are trying to avoid adding more. Any thoughts on how this can be achieved without adding custom fields?

Hello @Aaron Struphar ,

Thanks for the update.

Due to these additional facts there is no way around creating these questions as custom fields on the Change Request table.

Since you need to report on the security questions it would be difficult using the assessment, since it will store the answers in a different table from the other Change Request attributes.

And you are correct: since you already have an assessment with the same conditions it is not possible to have another one. The system would use one of the two randomly when clicking the Risk Assessment link.
