Hi Experts .
I am facing an issue with the catalog task short description which is being auto populated through catalog item , which should not happen . I have set the field values for Short description in the task activity but still it populates the catalog item short desc.
We have tried all the possible way to troubleshoot this , but couldn't achieve . And what's crazy is it happens only for a particular category of Service catalog .
Upon checking we found a business rule which calls a Script include for catalog task generation . do we need to edit that ?
Workflow has also been checked , but no hope .
Expecting some responses from you guys which would help me sort out this issue .
Regards,
Rishi

Thanks Kunal for your response .
If i set the short description in BR / Script Include then it would reflect all the items right ?
In my case it happens for a particular item workflow .

Hi Rishi,
please use workflow catalog task activity to populate any task fields
If it is common for all tasks then BR approach is fine
