    Table 1. Major issue management properties
    Property Description
    Synchronize fields from parent to child case

    sn_customerservice.parent_child_case_sync

    Enable this property to synchronize fields from a major, or parent, case to the associated child cases.
    • Type: true|false
    • Default value: false
    • Location: Customer Service > Administration > Properties
    Comma-separated list of fields that synchronize from parent case to child cases

    sn_customerservice.case_fields_to_sync

    Specifies the list of fields to synchronize from the major, or parent, case to the associated child cases.
    • Type: string
    • Default value: priority,state,comments,work_notes,assigned_to,close_notes,resolution_code
    • Location: Customer Service > Administration > Properties
    Processes SLA asynchronously during parent to child case creation and synchronization

    sn_customerservice.parent_child_case_sla_async

    Enables major issue management to process the SLA asynchronously during child case creation and parent-to-child case synchronization.
    • Type: true|false
    • Default value: true
    • Location: Customer Service > Administration > Properties

    Enable case type support for major cases

    enable_case_type_for_major_case

    Enable this property to create major cases with the same case type as the candidate case. When enabled, the system preserves the sys_class_name of the candidate case when creating the major case and uses extension point implementations to determine fields to copy.

    • Type: true|false
    • Default value: true (new installations), false (upgrades)
    • Location: Go to System Properties and search for enable_case_type_for_major_case.
    Note:
    For upgrade installations, this property defaults to false to preserve existing behavior where all major cases are created as base cases. Before you enable case type support, determine whether the default implementation is sufficient, or whether you need extension point implementations for your custom case types.
