We use it for Patching. You can create a group of CI's. Then in Change Template, in the configuration item field, we put the group. When Change is opened, script reads that it's a Group and puts all the CIs in the group on the Affected CI list of the Change.

Are you doing this with cmdb_ci_group (legacy logical CI Group class) or with cmdb_group (new CMDB Group table in Istanbul)? The latter does not seem to be a CI Class at all. In fact I had assumed it was and followed the same approach, but the Change form did not let me add my CMDB Group object in the CI field.

Michael,
In response to Paul's question, I assume that you are using the legacy cmdb_ci_group, as he mentioned, and not the cmdb_group introduced in Istanbul?
Using CMDB Groups (ie; the 'new' cmdb_group) seems to be more capable as it supports CMDB queries, as well as manual entry of CIs. We'd like to use this new CMDB Group function and are wondering the best way to translate the CI's contained in the Group to populate the Affected CI related list. Since that table is not a valid lookup in the Affected CI field, we were assuming that a new field was required to be added to the change form.
Anyone else take this route?
