Update Set Workflow for ServiceNow

Update Sets are MANDATORY for tracking changes in ServiceNow development. Without an Update Set, changes are not tracked and cannot be deployed to other instances.

Before ANY Development

ALWAYS create or ensure an Update Set is active before making changes:

// Step 1: Check current Update Set
var current = await snow_update_set_current()

// Step 2: If no Update Set or using Default, create one
if (!current || current.name === "Default") {
  await snow_update_set_create({
    name: "Feature: [Descriptive Name]",
    description: "What and why this change is being made",
  })
}
