Hi @Dr Atul G- LNG Is parent and child (Option h) a possible combination?

[Dr Atul G- LNG]

Practically yes, but not in the above case.

Hello @izzaijaz 

The impossible combinations are:

• a) Custom and Core
• g) Custom and Base

Definitions:

1. Custom Table: A user-defined table created specifically for business needs.
2. Core Table: An out-of-the-box (OOTB) table provided by ServiceNow.
3. Base Table: A foundational table from which other tables extend (e.g., Task or CMDB).
4. Parent Table: A table that another table (child) extends from.
5. Child Table: A table that extends from a parent table.

Analysis:

1. Custom and Core (a): Impossible. A table cannot be both custom and core because they are mutually exclusive categories.
2. Customer and Child (b): Possible, though "Customer" seems like a typo or confusion with "Custom."
3. Base and Parent (c): Possible, as a base table can serve as a parent (e.g., Task is both).
4. Custom and Parent (d): Possible, as a custom table can act as a parent for other tables.
5. Core and Base (e): Possible, as core tables can be base tables (e.g., Task is core and base).
6. Child and Core (f): Possible, as a core table can extend another core table and act as a child (e.g., Problem extends Task).
7. Custom and Base (g): Impossible. A base table is foundational and usually core, so a custom table cannot act as a base.
8. Parent and Child (h): Possible, but not simultaneously for the same table—it can be a parent to one table and a child of another.

Hope this helps!
