Using form templates to help format knowledge article

HI,

We are using the form templates  to help us format knowledge articles.

 

For new templates we want to create we can not longer set the name of the knowledgebase

In the "choose field" we don't get the option to set the name of the knowledgebase.

We used to be able to do this .

Any idea's  how to set the knowledgebase name?

Everything you said here is true. However, the two are not necessarily independent of each other. We use custom knowledge templates as Dave describes above. We also use form templates to format specific fields within the custom knowledge template. As a matter of fact, ServiceNow recommends their use. https://support.servicenow.com/kb?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0728427

 

One of our use cases is for ticket details that are added to the article in a table format. When the form template is selected, it populates the table and allows the author to complete the required information.

@Kim27  the insert and stay did not work. We updated the copy with the knowledgebase name and save it . When we applied it the knowlegebase field was empty.

However thank you for the suggestion as I was able to export the template update the xml with the desired knowledgebase name re-import. Then we applied it and now we  have the knowledgebase name popluated.
