Error Messages

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Configure a screen flow Start > Assignment 1 > Assignment 2 > Decision of type Fork with When configured > one way of decision(Assignment 3) > other way of decision(Utility ) > End.
  2. Enable Navigation link is selected on Assignment 1,2,3.
  3. Enable Navigation link is disabled at Decision and Utility.
  4. Include When rule that has a property evaluation say .pxRequestor.pxOrganization = “Test”
  5. At runtime, Assignment 1, 2 are shown , after this the connector as well is shown, but not Assignment 3.
  6. Notice Assignment3 is generated in Document Object Model (DOM) and is hidden.




Root Cause



A defect in Pegasystems’ code or rules: Raised a bug internally.

Resolution



Perform the following local-change steps:

Scenario 1: When condition to False:
When the flow is run & if the When condition is evaluated to False, the Else path is taken which brings the below breadcrumb which is valid:





Scenario 2: When condition to True:
When the flow is run & if the When condition is evaluated to True, the normal path is taken which brings the below breadcrumb which has an additional connector after Assignment 2:




Add the below lines of code in UserWorkForm in order not to display the additional connector:
Note that the local-change is given for this flow scenario only.

<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
var screenFlows = $("#ScreenFlowTabs").find("ul li");
if (screenFlows.length > 0) {
var lastHidden = screenFlows.last().hasClass("hidden");
if (lastHidden) {
$(screenFlows[screenFlows.length-2]).css('border-top', 'none');
}
}
});
</script>


After the change, the breadcrumb looks like:



At runtime, when the When condition is evaluated to False after Step 1 which takes the Else path, the below breadcrumb gets generated automatically:
