Error Messages
Not Applicable
Steps to Reproduce

2) Create a new application with implementation only.
3) Complete all the application settings, business objectives, case types and data object stages.
4) Click the preview or create button.
Root Cause
The root cause of this problem is a defect in Pegasystems’ code/rules.Function rule resolution is not working properly when there is more than one version of a function with the same formal parameters, and the function is called using the short form of the function name. In this particular scenario the PageListContains function was causing a problem as this function exists in both the PegaSurvey framework and the Pega-AppDefinition ruleset.
Resolution
This issue is resolved through the following local change: Do a private checkout of the pzCopyFrameworkClassGroup activity and change the short function rule reference to the long function rule reference (specifying ruleset and library). A permanent solution will be provided in a future release.
