Can I put an referenced object in an attribute by default in insight?

Question

Hi,

I created an Inventory in Insight and  linked it to my objects, but everytime a new object is added I do not see the way to have it referenced by default to the Inventory objects.

Is there any way to make every new object be referencd by another object by default? (object, not objectype)

Regards.

Hi Przemek,

I thought about doing that, but lest say my cmdb is going to be managed mostly from outside so no new objects are going to be created in issues. All the work in the issues will be around solving tickets related to the objects in insight. But I still wanted to have them updated with their inventory object....

It seems I am out of luck thanks!

WIth standard Insight operations - nope. However there is a trick allowing that with postfunction. :-) Revealing a secret behind 2nd part of Valiantys blog posts on Insight mastering:

if You use Create Insight Object from issue - you can pick the fields in JIRA ticket to have Insight object attributes assigned. If any of these will be setup to Insight field with default value and not edited during issue processing - you will get it.
