Can two user update the two different variable set simoulteniously before submit the request

Hi Folks,

In ServiceNow, can two users update two different variable sets simultaneously before submitting the request on the Employee Center portal?

If anyone has any solution on it. Thank you in advanced!

Regards,

out of the box this is not feasible.

there could be a hack to this

1) with User A ask that user to fill and click Save the Draft

2) when it's saved in Draft somehow try to update the user from User A to User B via script in this table "sc_cart_item". this table record has reference to "sc_cart" where the user info is saved so update that user

3) Ask user B to open the Draft from and he/she should see previous data and can fill variable set from their side

Then Submit with User B

Note: Remember the draft is saved only for some time. not sure how much but you can explore, within that timeframe User B has to view the draft and submit the item

Example: I changed the user from System Admin to Abel Tuter

Then Impersonated with Abel and saw the Draft version under My Requests and was able to submit

Hi @PravinBangadkar ,

ServiceNow catalog items are designed for a single user to fill out and submit. Simultaneous editing causes data conflicts.

Two users cannot simultaneously edit the same catalog item form in a single session.

Probable Solution:

1) Let one user submit the form with one set of variables-> set a review task with other set of variables where other person can update those.  

In that way , in a single record, two person can update the variable values
