SA-20624

Summary

User is passing parameters from one screen to the next. While the text consists of few special characters (% and &), the system is wiping them out, and, if the text starts with these characters or if there is a text after these characters, then the system is not proceeding to the next screen.

Error Messages

Not applicable.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create two simple text properties (say D1 and D2).
2. Create a data transform (SetDT1) to set value of DT1.
3. Create a section, Sec2. Add the D2 property field.
4. Create its corresponding flow action, FA2.
5. Create a flow (Flow2) to execute the above flow action. On the Parameters tab, define a parameter, Description.
6. Create another section, Sec1. Add the D1 property field, and a button used to create WO.S1: Refresh this section, and
    S1: Refresh this section, and execute the above data transform (SetDT1)
    S2: Create Work – to execute Flow2. Pass Temp.D1 as the parameter.
    S3: Close (to close the current WO).
7. Create Sec1’s corresponding flow action, FA1.
8. Create another data transform, pyDefault, to set D2 to the value passed as parameters.
9. Create a flow rule, Flow1, to execute FA1.

At runtime, enter some text with the '%' or '&' character in it.

Root Cause

The root cause of the problem is that the events executor does not support createNewWork action to escape the parameters.
​To fix this, the code need to be enhanced "to stop decoding" and "enable encoding" for create new work action.
