Hello Everyone,

I have a requirement from customer where they want to show a user-editable field on a standard change template.

This will allow end-users to enter some detailed information while raising the standard change.

An example screenshot is given below.

I would want to know if it is at all possible to add such editable fields on standard change template.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Hello Everyone,

I have figured this out.

Thanks @Ankur Bawiskar for giving me the hint and showing me the way.

 

SOLUTION:

  1. Add a new field in Change Request table (e.g. Additional Information)
  2. Open the standard change template (that is already created)
  3. Click on Modify Template
  4. Right click on top bar and select New Variable
  5. Click on Map to Field -> select the new Change Request field that was created in 1st point above
  6. Enter question name, text, variable type, etc. and Save

That's it -- you'll have a new editable field on the standard change template catalog form.

Thanks Everyone for your time.

If you're setting up a catalog item, you can do this with variables. Can you elaborate more on how users would request a change? Are they doing it from the portal? If so, are they doing it via a catalog item/record producer?

Hi @jcmings 

Requestors will request from the portal.

We have only created a standard change template - and it is accessible from service portal because we have placed it under a service catalog category.

If you see my screenshot in my 1st post - there is only a Submit button in it and no other fields.

So, now the requirement is to add a field which will be editable.

Please let me know if that is feasible.

I doubt this is possible without creating a new variable

If my response helped please mark it correct and close the thread so that it benefits future readers.

Hi @Ankur Bawiskar 

That is exactly what I would like to know.

Is it possible to add a new variable to a Standard Change Template and then show it on portal form, so that end users can input values into it?
