# Field mapping in solution configuration

# Field mapping in solution configuration {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Australia  
Updated March 26, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
Field mapping defines how field values pass from a parent blueprint to a child blueprint when a solution configuration session is running.

When you configure a configurable product action, you can define field mappings that specify which parent fields send their values to which child fields. Field mapping runs when a child configuration is created and again whenever a
mapped source field changes.

Field mapping is directional: values flow only from parent to child, one level at a time. To continue mapping across multiple levels, define the mappings on each blueprint in the chain.

## Supported field types {#field-mapping-in-solution-configuration__section_vz3_3l4_s3c}

You can map fields of the same type only. The following field types are supported:

* Number
* Text
* Boolean
* Picklist
{#field-mapping-in-solution-configuration__ul_d2g_jl4_s3c}

## Restrictions {#field-mapping-in-solution-configuration__section_dmv_jl4_s3c}

* Target fields are read-only in the child configuration during a session. The child buyer cannot change a value that was mapped from the parent.
* System fields can act as source fields, but cannot be set as target fields.
* Fields inside a Set can be mapped to a field on the child blueprint.
* Mapping of an entire Set or an entire Product Picker is not supported.
* Product Picker subfields cannot be mapped to a field on the child blueprint.
