Prompt is shown in the “On change Reset” list in a PromptSet. This allows the prompt to be selected as “On change Reset” of the prompt itself. If you do so, and start the PromptSet via the ECC you will receive a NullPointerException.
When a Workflow containing a single job calls PromptSet and the Workflow is executed via the Java UserInterface, the PromptSet appears. If the same Workflow is executed via ECC the above error is displayed.
Dependencies: The prompt only appears in the "On change Reset" list if you rename the "variable name" before opening the "On change Reset" list from the UserInterface, which causes the exception in the Java API and as a result in the ECC.
Cause
Cause type: Defect Root Cause: The prompt itself is shown in the "On change Reset" list in a PromptSet. This allows that this prompt can be selected as "On change Reset" of the prompt itself. If you do so and start the PromptSet over ECC then you get a NullPointerException.
