Issue/Introduction

Symptoms:

In cases where Aria Automation custom form valueOptions (dropdown, multiSelect, dualList, combobox... etc.) are controlled by an ExternalSource,  the following situation can occur:

  1. Users selects value from the dropdown
  2. Some action triggers, making the dropdown have zero options
  3. The originally selected value is cleared from the UI control, but is present upon request.


Environment

VMware Aria Automation 8.12.x

Resolution

The issue is resolved in the Aria Automation 8.13.1 release

Workaround:
As a workaround  the user can explicitly select the empty value if available in the presented value options.
