SA-31598

Summary

Client side behavior such as visibility when, refresh when property changes, and auto complete refreshes do not work when a sub-page context does not have a direct page reference, for example pyWorkPage.SomePage.

The issue occurs when running any sub-sections' directly using the Top or Parent keywords, or reference properties (using the Property-Ref method).

This happens for simple sub-section includes, and also if a spin off flow or flow action runs on one of those pages.
 

Error Messages

Not applicable

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a parent section.
2. Add a sub-section whose page context is setup with dynamic page property like the Top or Parent keywords, or a reference property.
3. Add any client side action like display when.

Root Cause

An issue in the custom application code or rules.

Resolution

 

An enhancement request, FDBK-17689, has been created for consideration by Pega Product Management. 

As a workaround a “wrapper” section must be created and run on a property reference, by setting .pyStepPageReference. 

​ This resets the embedded pages context, and allows the client side action to work correctly.
