Summary

If two pages have different classes and different inheritance structure, the Property-Ref method will not reference between the two pages.

Data Page: D_TestPage
class : Application-FW-ImpLayer-Work-WorkType
Property: PropTestPage1 (Page, Class: Application-FW-ImpLayer-Work-WorkType)

Data Page: D_TestPage3
Class: NewTest (extending from @baseclass)
Property: TryPage1 (Page, Class: NewTest-Test1) (Allow use as reference property in activities checked)

Error Messages

 

Property-Ref from D_TestPage3.TryPage1 = D_TestPage.PropTestPage1 does not work because of conflict of class.

Hence pages with different class cannot be Ref.
 

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create an activity.
2. Specify a step to perform a Property-Ref method between a property of a class type A and a source property of class type B (Class type A has a completely separate inheritance stucture as compared to Class type B).
3. Attempt to save the activity and observe the error displayed at the top of the activity.
