How will this idea be used?

When an IBMer uploads a new version of a map or code list using the Jobs function through Config Hub, we need an option to link back to Case#s from CSP for audit and tracking purposes.

    Hi Erin,

    Thank you for submitting this idea and clearly outlining the need for adding a Change Description/Comments field during imports completed through Jobs. This is a meaningful enhancement, especially for improving auditability, linking updates to CSP case numbers, and providing better visibility into why map or code list changes were performed.

    We will review this request in more detail as part of our upcoming cycle and evaluate how best to incorporate it into our broader configuration and change‑tracking improvements. In the meantime, if you have any examples from recent cases where this enhancement would have helped streamline analysis or support workflows, please feel free to share—this will help us better scope the requirement.

    Appreciate you taking the time to bring this forward.

    Best regards,

    Manoj Panda
