  title: ServiceNow Create Emergency Change With Task
  summary: Create an emergency change request, read it back, then attach an implementation task.
  description: >-
    The urgent-change path through the Change Management API. The workflow
    creates an emergency change request for changes that cannot wait for the
    standard approval process, reads it back by sys_id to capture its number,
    and then creates an implementation task under it so work can begin
    immediately. Each request is written inline, including the API convention
    of wrapping the change and task under a result object.
