How does Communicate Workaround and Communicate fix work in Problem?

I have been trying to find how does the 'Communicate workaround' and 'Communicate fix' work in the Problem module in Madrid version. I went through the docs.servicenow.com and found that when we click on communicate workaround link the problem number and the content of the Workaround field are added to the activity stream on all related incidents. By default, any entries made in an incident activity stream field generate an email notification to the Caller that you mention on the Incident form. But nothing is copied to the related incident when I do that and no notification is triggered. Can anyone please explain the scenario how both of the links work? Thanks.

In Madrid, both of these UI Actions trigger events that then run Script Actions.  Look in the UI Actions for the event names, and then search for that event in the Script Actions.  Basically, they search for incidents that are in an On Hold state of Awaiting Problem, and will update the incident with the information from the problem.

Hi Stephen,

 

Thanks for your reply. I am able to see the work notes and fix notes copied to the Activity Stream in their related incidents now.
