Service Provider Lookup For Automation Rules
The ability to use automation rules to look up the service provider of the service of the service instance of a request has been added. This can be useful, for example, when information needs to be retrieved from the provider’s organization record so that it can be added to the request to help the specialist who will be working on it.

A number of shortcuts to this attribute has been made available as well. These shortcuts make it possible to directly ask for the service provider on any of the following record types:
- Requests
- Problems
- Changes
- Projects
- Service instances
- Products
- Configuration items

They don't know that your payments-api has a flaky liveness probe everyone ignores, that the checkout team owns the retry policy, or that the last three "database incidents" were actually cache misconfigurations. That knowledge lives in your postmortems, your Slack channels, and the heads of two senior engineers.
