Dan Munns Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Hi all, Is there a reason why the PC within tasks behaves differently from the actual PCs? When a field is left blank it defaults to 'No answer given' rather than just staying blank. However in my BPM i need the behaviour to be the same as the PC as I need to do 'x' if blank (not set) and 'y' if set Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victor Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 @Dan Munns you can actually blame me for this... I have asked devs to put this in there a while back because I thought it looks ugly to have a "Reason: (blank)" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Munns Posted July 7, 2018 Author Share Posted July 7, 2018 @Victor when did the behaviour change as it is now stopping my BPMs working. Can we have a setting for this as we do for PCs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Munns Posted July 9, 2018 Author Share Posted July 9, 2018 Anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victor Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 @Dan Munns apologies, I missed your reply... I have just re-read this and I can only take blame for the "Reason: No reason given" as the custom fields in tasks were added only recently... So, to make sure I understand this right, if you have a custom field in PCF and that will not be filled in it will appear as blank (so you can use "is set" or "is not set") but with custom fields in tasks, if the field is not filled in it will have the value of "No answer given"?

Dan Munns Posted July 10, 2018 Author Share Posted July 10, 2018 @Victor that is correct. I tried setting the decision node to be either ‘No answer given’ or no match but that doesn’t appear to work either. I also tried copying the answer to a custom field but it shows as blank if the system sets ‘No answer given’ it’s confusing me a little to be honest.

Dan Munns Posted July 10, 2018 Author Share Posted July 10, 2018 Thanks @Victor I have attached the BPM so you can more easily pick out the simple setting I have messed up marketing---new-marketing-request.bpm.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victor Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 @Dan Munns - I have tested this in my instance and using "is not set" works fine for me ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Munns Posted July 10, 2018 Author Share Posted July 10, 2018 @Victor that is strange. Can you look at my BPM and see if that is still the case? Looking in the database it sets 'undefined' when the system sets 'No answer given' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victor Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 @Dan Munns - I can't properly test your BP as I do not have all the configuration in place (dynamic lists) or the stuff in first two stages... May I ask you to try it again with this configuration? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Munns Posted July 10, 2018 Author Share Posted July 10, 2018 @Victor, this works now. But it didn't yesterday. I am (almost) certain I had it set this way and I kept getting a 'No goto if' error. Oh well, sorted anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or perhaps the error occurred somewhere else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Munns Posted July 10, 2018 Author Share Posted July 10, 2018 @Victor yesterday I had it set to one branch was 'if is set' and the other 'if not set'. Then I got the no goto if error. I changed it to no match this morning, but then I got a 'the specified user....' error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Munns Posted July 10, 2018 Author Share Posted July 10, 2018 @Victor It is what was confusing me. It may have been because I was looking at a custom field rather than the output directly from the task. The custom field was empty in the request, populated with 'undefined' in the database and failed any kind of decision node check I could think of. I will dig out the version (it has gone up by about 20 versions since last night) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victor Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 @Dan Munns the "is set" / "is not set" is basically checking if a field is NULL or not... and it can only be one of these... either NULL ... or not NULL... is not like there is a third option there like "partially NULL" or "almost NULL" and that's what intrigues me...
