Decision context — source type

source type (DecisionContext.sourceType) is a field stored on each decision context record in Chalk, the higher-education academic operations platform for curriculum, assessment, faculty, scheduling, accreditation, and budget. It holds a String value and is part of the decision context record's data. The sourceType field belongs to the decision context it is recorded on, so faculty, staff, and automations read or set sourceType while working with that DecisionContext record. Because sourceType is part of the DecisionContext record, it stays consistent with the rest of that record's data and is scoped to the tenant that owns the decision context.
