Issue/Introduction

Object ca_cmpny having 2 Out Of Box Trigger defined as follows : ca_tr_ins_ca_company_division and ca_tr_upd_ca_company_division. May we know what is the functionality of these two triggers? 

We are asking this question because when we created a custom field under ca_cmpny, these two triggers wiping out the new entries from the customized z_field (ca_cmpny.zCmdbdaId string(50)). However if we disable the two above mentioned OOTB triggers the values inserted on custom z_field is not wiped out.

Hence we need to know the purpose of those 2 triggers under object ca_cmpny and what if we disabled them? Is there any functionality loss?

Environment

Release : 17.3.X

Component : CA Service Management.
