Data Lookup not working for extended Incident table in Scoped App

Hi everyone,

I’m working on a ServiceNow implementation in a scoped application where I created a custom table that extends the Incident table.
My goal is to automatically populate Priority based on Impact and Urgency using a Data Lookup Definition.

What I have done so far

  • Created a scoped app

  • Created a custom table extending Incident

  • Verified inherited fields (impact, urgency, priority) exist on the form

  • Created a custom matcher table extending "dl_matcher"

  • Added fields Impact, Urgency, Priority to the matcher table

  • Added matrix records for all combinations


Issues I am facing

1️⃣ When configuring Choice Table for matcher fields:

  • My scoped incident table does not appear in the list

  • Even though it extends Incident and has the same fields

  • I understand it inherits choices from Task/Incident, but I’m unsure what the correct choice source should be

2️⃣ While creating the Data Lookup Definition:

  • Source table = my extended incident table (works fine)

  • Matcher table = my custom matcher table (visible only after extending dl_matcher)

  • However, lookup is still not auto-setting priority on the form

3️⃣ I am unsure whether:

  • I should reuse Task/Incident choices for matcher fields

  • Or create independent choice values in matcher table

  • Or use integer fields instead


What I want to achieve

Automatically set Priority based on Impact + Urgency for records created on my extended Incident table inside a scoped app, using a configuration-driven approach (Data Lookup).
