Need to edit fields copied when using copy change

[swnewton]

Geneva added the ability to copy a change request.   We need to edit the fields that are copied on the change and the related change tasks. Where do we go to do that?

Not sure exactly what you mean when you say Edit the fields but if you mean you want to adjust which fields are copied, you would need to go to the UI Action called "Copy Change".   That is where you will find exactly which fields are copied and what data is put into them.

Right click on Header of any Change Request

Select Configure UI Actions

Search for Copy Change

Open and you will see the script and should be able to make whatever changes that are needed.

Hope this helps.

You can configure which fields you want to copy to the new change request via Change > Administration > Change Properties. On this page you will see a field called 'List of attributes' and here you can remove fields or add fields from the comma separated list.

That's how I understood it , from the menu

dont want to hijack but is it possible to configure which users have the ability to copy a change, and under what scenarios? Or is that in the UI action?

mrswann,

Yes, the controls for who can use the Copy Change button are in the UI action.   One way you can limit is to only allow users with certain role which you can create such as: copy_change or change_manager roles (these would be custom)

Hope this helps.
