A Service Catalog entry does not save
Resolve missing Asset Types, unavailable entry actions, invalid compatibility, and save failures.
Use this page when a draft Asset Type, catalog action, entry, compatible choice, or saved value is missing.
Fast checks
- Confirm the selected Asset Type and company workspace.
- Confirm the custom Asset Type is still an editable draft.
- Select Refresh and reselect the type.
- Check Service Catalog permission.
- Select the required parent before looking for child entry actions.
- Search exact names to rule out a near-duplicate.
Common causes and fixes
| Symptom | Likely cause | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Draft Asset Type is absent | The save failed, the wrong company is selected, or access is missing | Reopen Asset Types, confirm Draft status, then check the Permission. |
| Model action is absent | A compatible parent has not been selected | Select the required provider or manufacturer context first. |
| Module or Software is absent | The selected context does not support that child type | Open the saved Manufacturer, then check whether that parent exposes Module or Software. If it does not, do not create a substitute entry type. |
| Save fails | A required name, source, specification, or attribute is invalid | Correct the labeled field and save again. |
| Expected compatible choice is missing | The catalog entry lacks the compatibility selection, or its parent value differs | Reopen the Service Catalog entry, correct compatibility, save, and refresh the Asset. |
| Entry appears twice | A near-duplicate was added | Preserve both records, identify current usage, and remove only the unused custom entry after review. |
Verify the fix
Refresh Service Catalog, reopen the entry, and confirm its parent, details, and compatibility. Then use a documentation-only asset to verify the catalog-backed choices.
Known limitations
Customer Service Catalog editing depends on the custom Asset Type lifecycle. A published Asset Type may be read-only.
Each parent supports only specific child entry types.
