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).
