Good morning, 

I have a couple of ‘Change’ SR type templates that I want to link to the self-service portal. I just wanted to ask if this is possible as there is an incident / request submission form section but not one for change? I’ve tried linking the template using the a request target URL in the service catalogue:

E.g. /submitSR?populateSR_id=######

Is there an one  for change service records?

E.g. /submitCR?populateSR_id=######

 

When pasting in the change template ID into E.g. /submitSR?populateSR_id=###### I just get an error message trying to open the self-service tile (there was an error with the template) after confirming there are no issues with the catalogue.

## Change Request templates in the Self-Service Portal

Short answer: End users cannot submit Change Requests from the Self‑Service Portal. The portal supports Incidents and (Service) Requests only.

Details and what you can do:
- The target URLs that work in the SSP are:
- Incidents: /submitIncident?populateSR_id=XXXX
- Requests: /submitSR?populateSR_id=XXXX
- There is no supported submit URL for Change (e.g., /submitChange or /submitCR) in the Self‑Service Portal. Attempts to pass a Change template ID via /submitSR will result in “There was a problem using the selected template.”

Workarounds/options:
1. Guide users to submit a Request
- Create a Request template that collects needed change details.
- Route it to your Change process internally (e.g., convert to Change in Admin UI or have your team create the Change with the captured info).

2. Admin-only submission
- Changes can be created from the Admin UI by Administrators/technicians.

3. Feature availability
- Support has an existing feature request to allow Change creation via the portal. If you want updates when/if it’s released, please open a Service Record and ask to be associated with the FR.

If you’d like, I can walk you through setting up a Request template + Service Catalog item that mimics your Change form (fields, workflow cues) and routes to your Change process.
