This is usually a permission issue as indicated by the error.  If the user does not have the  Infrastructure Change Manager functional role, they are not allowed to move the change into Scheduled for Approval.  Usually, you just have the person in their group that does have that functional role

Attachment pools as well as their associated attachment fields (that can contain future attached files) have permissions just like any other field type.  You can give view or change permissions to any group.  The default I believe is Public/Change but you can change that to whatever you want

Hi Ankita,   If you can avoid using an OOTB field, that is best practice.  Sometimes it doesn't make sense to build a new field when an OOTB field can handle the job.  The biggest thing is to not modify existing workflow if you are in a pre-7.6.04 environment.  If new workflow will conflict or

One of the things about Oracle with 3999 varchar is that you have to make sure it is resolving as BYTES rather than CHAR.  The type of behavior you are describing can happen when the distinction is not made in Oracle by your DBA.  There may be other issues like the field length in the staging

Just going by experience... There are a lot of vendors that are trying to capitalize on the rates of Remedy gurus.  They tell the clients they can't find anyone but there's no transparency between what the clients are willing to pay and what the vendors are offering.  So for a rough example,

The truth is, for a regular salaried employee, the salary is OK and the rates translate into salary.  Contractors typically do not get holidays, sick days, vacation days, or personal days.  If it's a W-2 contract rate, they MAY get access to the medical aspect of the benefit plans but are
