Issue/Introduction

It is not possible to create (or edit) START OBJECT in Pre- or Postcondition.

How do check if the system is affected by this bug:

A Workflow with any executable object in it is created:

<Please see attached file for image>

A Pre- or Postcondition START OBJECT is added and all fields are filled in:

<Please see attached file for image>

Click Accept:

<Please see attached file for image>

No try to click OK:

<Please see attached file for image>

The dialog is not closed but <PARAMETERS> is marked red as an error. The error does not disappear anymore, no matter what is done:

<Please see attached file for image>

The dialog can only be closed by clicking Cancel and so the postcondition START OBJECT cannot be saved.

If a Pre- or Postcondition exists from an older Version, it cannot be edited.

<Please see attached file for image>

They can be opened:

<Please see attached file for image>

But as soon as OK is clicked, <PARAMETERS> is marked red as an error again:

<Please see attached file for image>

It affects only START ACTION, not the other actions available for Pre- or Postcondition.

Cause

The START OBJECT precondition or postcondition cannot be edited or created due to an improper validation. The value of START OBJECT Condition is checked even if the Object to be started does not have parameters.
