System Property : glide.import_set_row.dynamically_add_fields

When implementing integrations it may not always be needed to dynamically create fields that are available in source payload for following reasons

1. Source system payload may contain attributes which are not relevant from ServiceNow dataload.

2. Source system may provide data to lot of targets along with ServiceNow, hence may change the output attributes more frequently that needed for ServiceNow.

3. Number of columns in import set table are already a lot (more than allowed custom column limit) and adding more fields may break the integration.

Type : True / False

Controls dynamic creation of fields in import sets when loading data via import sets.

Good practice : Set value to False(Production) : If you don’t want ServiceNow to create fields dynamically in staging table.

True(Non-production) : To test and configure required data transformation.

This property need to be added to instance to system properties, I have attached an export of xml record you can import it to your instance and access it via this link

Note : This is a global property hence turn on and off with caution.
