SNOW-CAD Practice Question: Application development using ServiceNow Studio
A developer is working on a new application and wants to ensure all changes are tracked for deployment. The developer creates a new application in Studio and makes modifications. When the developer tries to create an update set, the application changes are not captured. The developer checks the application properties and sees the 'Update Set' field is set to 'Default'. The developer is in a scoped application. What is a possible reason?

Correct answer & explanation
✓
The developer has not set the 'Update Set' field on the application.
The application's 'Update Set' field is set to 'Default', which means changes are captured in the session's default update set. However, since the developer is creating a new update set, the changes are not automatically captured in the new update set. The developer must explicitly set the application's 'Update Set' field to the newly created update set to capture changes there. Option D is correct because the developer has not set this field to a specific update set, so changes continue to go to 'Default'. Options A, B, and C are incorrect: A is false because the field shows 'Default', not 'Not in an update set'; B is false because the application is scoped; C is false because phase does not affect update set capture.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
The application is marked as 'Not in an update set'.
Why it's wrong here
The field is set to 'Default', not 'Not in an update set', so this is not the reason.
- ✗
The application's scope is set to 'Global'.
Why it's wrong here
The application is scoped, not global, so this is incorrect.
- ✗
The application is in a different phase.
Why it's wrong here
The application phase does not affect update set capture.
- ✓
The developer has not set the 'Update Set' field on the application.
Why this is correct
Correct. The developer has not changed the 'Update Set' field from 'Default' to a specific update set, so changes are captured in the default update set rather than the new one.
