Synchronization between incident and problem records

Change in a Problem record impacts related Incident records. Notification is sent to the user for each such update.

When you activate the Problem Management Best Practice — Madrid (com.snc.best_practice.problem.madrid) and the Problem Management Best Practice — Madrid — State Model (com.snc.best_practice.problem.madrid.state_model) plugin, the changes in a Problem record impact incidents that are associated to that Problem.
