If you've ever tried to solve this problem with one or two 'after' Business Rules that simply copy comments from one record to the other… congrats, you've discovered recursion! Unfortunately, you've also discovered infinite loops. If you next tried adding .setWorkflow(false) to the Business
Some of our existing ServiceNow outbound REST calls were being made through a Flow Designer action, using an imported RestMessage with OAuth authorization (typical OAuth Application Registry and OAuth Profiles). This was initially set up since our /oauth/token endpoints were internal and not on the
