Service Portal- Incident Category and Subcategory

All,

I had a previous thread that was somewhat relative to my current issue: Record Producers in the Service Portal- Not Functioning Properly (Client Script Issue)  

In the Service Portal I had difficulty setting up Incident subcategories to be dependent on the chosen/default category. However, that is functioning as expected now. When a user selects a category like Workstation/Laptop, specific subcategories will appear like monitor, docking station, etc.

Here's the current issue: When an "end user" (user with no roles) selects a subcategory, completes the rest of the form, and submits the incident, the subcategory they chose shows up as "Undefined" in the default view of the incident ticket. Apparently it hasn't been working right for months now, but after a recent patch it shows as "Undefined" instead of being blank. Submitting as an ITIL user works just fine through the Service Portal. The subcategory reflects in the default view of the incident ticket as expected.

Important things to note:

Catalog Client Script: We're using a catalog client script to filter the subcategory options based on what category is pre-defined or selected by the user. Here's how that looks:

Script on Record Producer: We're using this script to grab the record producer category and subcategory and pass it into the incident category and subcategory

find_real_file.png

Within the service portal, here's how the catalog client script functions- The category is defaulted and the proper subcategories appear based on what is set:

find_real_file.png

Once the incident form is complete, this is what it appears like on the default view of the incident:

find_real_file.pngfind_real_file.png

The biggest part that's confusing me is that when an ITIL user submits the incident through the Service Portal, the Category and Subcategory populate the INC ticket fields as expected. Do "non-ITIL" (no role) users not have the ability to write to the Subcategory?

Any leads will help! Thank you all for your time in advance.

Hi,



Create an ACL with operation read on   table sys_choice.value


when it an itil user, he has the access to read the values but for end users it is not the same. we need to make the choices available for end users so read operation on records.

Here is an example ACL for the subcatetory field
