Here's the links from our presentation as well.
Hello @Justin_Workman, in the Innovate Session you mentioned extending a class and adding a InputJSON property so that you could map the Service Request output (assuming you mean when mapping the user prompts) and retrieve it in JSON format. Could you elaborate on how you were able to do this? Also does this mean you are doing so with a Request Offering that was created as a Cireson Advance Request Offering?
I can see how powerful it would be to be able to get the data of the request offering as JSON for later commands in Powershell.
Any guidance would be helpful as I am familiar with working with JSON and Web APIs but new to Service Manager.
Thank you

Hi @Zachary_King! By "extending the class" I mean adding a text property for holding my JSON. The easiest way is to use the SCSM Authoring tool. Here is a resource on extending classes. I am talking about using Cireson's Advanced Request Offering and specifically the multiple mapping feature. I set up the JSON structure in the field with the output of a given prompt. Here's an example from the Offering I built for the session:
I hope this helps!
Hey @Justin_Workman This is perfect! Thank you for the insight, the screenshots are extremely helpful. With Advanced Request Offerings extending to Change Requests, this is going to be great to leverage future automations.
Thanks again!
