The OOTB table for the Multi-Row variable set (came out in London) is lacking referential integrity.

When records are deleted from the REQ table, records are left in the Multi-Row variable set - sc_multi_row_question_answer table. 

There are multiple situations that lead to the creation of records in the sc_multi_row_question_answer table.

• The parent of a record in the said table could be a cart item, but it could also be a requested item.
• In new releases, we have features where we allow table variable data to be moved across records.

For these reasons, we have not provided a cascade delete of records in the sc_multi_row_question_answer table on the deletion of related records, which is present for other applications on ServiceNow.

As far as feature breakage is concerned, this lack of a cascade delete should not cause any breaks OOB.

One can implement a cascade delete by writing the business rule to trigger when RITM is deleted, cascade deletes the related "Multi-Row Question Answers" records.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. On any OOB London and above version instance, Submit the following catalog item request by adding multi-row variable set records.
   • https://<instance-name>.service-now.com/sc_cat_item.do?sys_id=e56a7ffe41011300964ff05369414ebd
2. Open "Multi-Row Question Answers" you will there the related multi-row variable record values for the related RITM.
   • https://<instance-name>.service-now.com/sc_multi_row_question_answer_list.do
3. Delete the RITM

You will notice that the "Multi-Row Question Answers" records are still present.
