How does the demand form get its data?

[MBarrott]

I've activated the due date field on the Create a New Demand catalog item but noticed the data is being passed to the demand form's due date field. 

Where can I see what data is passed from the Create a New Demand catalog item to the actual demand record it creates? It doesn't seem to be a workflow is anything tied to it.

Hello Mbarrot,

You may want to check the business rules for demands.
There is an OOTB business rules which syncs the due date for new submitted demands:

Hi Jaegger, 

Appreciate the help I will take a look. 

Do you know where I can see the other form fields being populated such as name and the business case? I want to see where the data is being passed to the demand record.

The name field in the catalog item, has been set with the technical name "short_description". It will therefore automatically map the variable with the short_description field on the table/dictionary. (this variable trick is not specific to SPM but also applies to other areas of the platform).

Same for the business case field. It's technical name has been set to business_case so that it matches the variable with the business_case field on the table/dictionary..
