Property name change.conflict.allow_contiguous_changes
Sys ID 444f6869532333008ef67c2c0fc5876d
Type boolean
Application Global
Default value true
Description When conflict checking for similar change requests (by Affected CIs or Assigned to) find records that overlap with the current change request only. Old behavior did not allow change requests that start at the same time as the end time of the current change request or a change request that ends at the same time as the start time of the current change request. As an example the following change requests apply to the same configuration item. CHG01, start: 2019-01-01 03:00:00 end: 2019-01-01 04:00:00. CHG02, start: 2019-01-01 04:00:00 end: 2019-01-01 05:00:00. If this property is set to true these contiguous change requests will not conflict, if the property is set to false they will conflict.
