  3. Select Individual Object -> Insert -> Standard Object -> Service Request.
  4. Next, then upload the maintained template.

  6. In the Monitor Work Center View, the task finished with no error.
  7. Go to Ticket Work Center View.
  8. Check the new ticket uploaded, the field Account(Customer) is Blank.

Resolution

  • Standard Field "Account" is not in Data Workbench Service Request import template, once check the c4codataapi service in OData Console, go to ServiceRequestCollection, the properties of field "Account" is False for "Creatable" and "Updatable". The properties in metadata cannot be changed. This is a designed and expected behavior.
  • Maintained "Contact ID" in Service Request template, which has an "Account" name in Customer Business Object. The system won't match the relationship between different BOs. Data Workbench is just a tool which used to upload the value of a field. Maintain "Contact ID" field can only upload the value of "Contact ID" in Ticket TI view, even this Contact has an Account Name in Customer BO, the Account Name won't be populated by system.
  • Therefore, this is a designed system behavior.
