Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
In the task's 'Assign to Incident Field' configuration setting
Why this is correct
The 'Assign to Incident Field' setting binds the collected user response directly to an incident field.
- ✗
In the 'Details' tab using custom markdown syntax
Why it's wrong here
Markdown syntax is for formatting text, not for data binding to incident fields.
- ✗
In the task's 'Inputs' tab under context mapping
Why it's wrong here
Inputs are for feeding data into tasks, not mapping user response outputs to incident fields.
- ✗
In the 'Script arguments' section under the 'Key' parameter
Why it's wrong here
Script arguments pass inputs to the underlying task script, not incident field mappings.
