System updated control attestation on its own


626 Views Last updated : Apr 7, 2024 public Copy Permalink
KB Summary by Now Assist

Issue

Control records state will move from "monitor" to "attest" and says updated by "system"

Release

All

Cause

Due to an OOB schedule job 

Resolution

This is an expected behavior. 

As per the script in the scheduled job: "Control attestation nightly run",  line no. 14 

var frequency = control.profile.attestation_frequency + '';

When you check this field by configuring through the form layout, it's having the value as "Quarterly" (depending on what value you provided), that's why the script is using this value and updating the attestation to 3 months.

The world works with ServiceNow.
