Copy Affected Services to Assets field

Sidra Shakoor

I am trying to copy Affected services value (This field is bult-in for asset Services) to Linked object (This contains services of asset management.) through automation.

When I try to copy it its says "

Unable to retrieve the configuration management database (CMDB) when updating the work item field

Bad Request

No fields or field values to edit for work items (could be due to some field values not existing in a given project):"

Hi @Sidra Shakoor

The Affected Services field is linked to the ootb Assets scheme "Services".

This is a locked schema.

Please provide your current automation rule and specify details of the steps in the rule.
Also provide audit log information.
Are you running Cloud or DC?

On topic:

Are you using AQL to achieve this?

What do you want to copy, is this assets in another scheme, how is this object type setup?

Sidra Shakoor

It is applied when work item is created.

Then applied lookup objects and using this.

objectType IN ("Software services", "Business services", "Applications", "Capabilities") AND Name = "{{issue.Affected services.name}}"

- I am running this on Cloud.

I am trying to copy Affected services field which comes from user to Linked objects. Whih is asset field.

Hi @Sidra Shakoor

Can you show you full rule.

The work item you are trying to edit is the the item that is being created in the rule?

If this is the case, then this is not possible, as the rule is not running against the created work item.

You will need to do this in a separate rule or in the work item creation action.
