How to find records with a Broken Reference from a List FilterIssue A reference field is a pointer to a record in another table, and the value is a sys_id of that record. If that record sys_id is actually missing from that other table then we call that a Broken Reference, and when you click through to that reference you get error 'Record not found'. Here is how to find those records with broken references from a List view filter, so that you can repair them. Open the list for the table you are interested in.Add this filter to the condition builder: (I'll call the field you are interested in <reference field>)<reference field> IS NOT EMPTYAND<reference field>.'Sys ID' IS EMPTYThat second condition is dot-walking to the sys_id field of the record in the referenced table. Expand the reference field first, then select 'Sys ID'.Run the filter. Every record displayed in the list will have a broken reference in that field. A sys_id value may be displayed, or the field may appear empty but isn't. You can correct the value by editing from the list view. Example The CMDB Relationships table [cmdb_rel_ci] is a common cause of problems in some CMDB related features such as Relationship Editor if records have a broken reference. Main reference fields in this table: Parent - References cmdb_ciChild - References cmdb_ciType - References cmdb_rel_type - The field used in the example below, using the above steps.

You can confirm that by clicking through to the referenced record. If it loads in a form and has a table name in the URL starting with "ar_..." then the record is archived. You will want to re-think your archive rules, as having live records referencing archived records will sometimes cause performance problems.
