Problem Note 65787: REST service tasks and script tasks in a workflow are removed or overwritten by values from another task
In SAS® Visual Investigator, one of the main components in a workflow is a task. You can create and configure a script task or a REST service task. Depending on usage, you might notice that the configured task information is cleared or is incorrectly displaying a value from another task.
The following scenarios are known to cause these issues.
Scenario 1
- Open a workflow template.
- Select Edit for any of the tasks. However, you do not actually edit the task.
- Click OK.
The expected result is that nothing changes. However, all of the JavaScript entries for that task are cleared.
Scenario 2
- Open a workflow template that contains more than one script task. Each task has different JavaScript entries.
- Copy a JavaScript entry from one task.
- Click on another task.
- Check the JavaScript entries for the other tasks.
The expected result is that the JavaScript entries from each task should remain the same. However, sometimes the copied value from one task ends up appearing for another task (even though you did not paste the value there).
Scenario 3
- Open a workflow template.
- Open the script editor for Task A, which contains the text "A." Change “A” to "newText" and click OK.
- Open the script editor for Task B, which contains the text "B," and immediately click OK.
The expected result is that the JavaScript entries from each task should remain the same. However, Task B now has "newText" in its script text area.
