Hi Change task table is extended from task table.

To check for other table, in the filter navigator type 'sys_db_object.LIST' or search for Tables

Table dependencies can be found from Tables.

  1. Go to "System Definition" > "Tables"
  2. Filter on tables to find. As can be seen from the following list, both "Change Request" and Change Task" extends "Task" table.find_real_file.png

To find other relationship graphically, do the following:

  1. Open table to find other relationship. Example "Change Task".
  2. Scroll down and select "Show Schema Map".find_real_file.png
  3. By default, all relationships will be displayed graphically. Uncheck all except "Show extended tables" to see which table "Change Task" is extended from.find_real_file.png
  4. Select "Show referencinmg tables" to find tables that are referenced by Change Task table. This implies there is a field in table "Change Task" that references table "Change Request".find_real_file.png
  5. Open "change_task.list" from Application Navigator.
    find_real_file.png
  6. Right click on the header and select "Configure" > "Dictionary".

  7. There is a field named "Change request" that references table "change_request" as expected.

Hi SS

Let me Give you one by one Answer:-

What is change_task table extended from?

The Task table is one of the most important tables in the ServiceNow instance. Many tables extend the Task table. Thus, it is the parent class of many other tables, such as Incident, Change Task, Problem, and so on.

is it change_request?

A change request allows you to implement a controlled process for the addition, modification, or removal of approved and supported configuration items (CIs). A change request records the detailed information about the change, such as the reason of the change, the priority, the risk, the type of change, and the change category.

You can create change tasks for a change request. A change task is a piece of work related to the change request. For example, there can be tasks to plan the change, implement the change, and test, and review the work.
Please refer the below ServcieNow Docs for this.
