Today I just faced the same issue with a Process Model constant. Apparently it seems to be a non solved issue/bug yet.

Any updates on this?

yeah that was the final step we did and things are working fine But wanted to understand why it happened in the first place.

I would recommend to edit constant value directly in UAT(Update Constant with Process Model).

yeah we did, It showed no change and even after deployment. It didnt get updated.

Have you tried deploying only constant after process model deployment(I mean 3rd deployment)?

We are also not sure why the constant didnt get updated properly. While redeploying also, we didnt get any changed messages. All was showing as no change while inspection.

Constant showing unchanged" is a bit unclear.
When he redeploys a constant value, it remains unchanged even though he has included process model value

If possible have both the objects in same package and can you try

[quote userid="276123" url="~/discussions/f/general/35156/constant-value-not-getting-deployed/136409"]So, the second import brought in the process model as a separate object, but the existing constant definition (pointing to the old location in the test environment) remained unchanged.[/quote]

This should never happen. Constants reference process models by their UUID.

Now you gave proper insight.
1st import skipped process model due to dependencies. 2nd import brought the model but didn't update the constant's reference (like an outdated address).
AFAIK constants store metadata, which is a reference to the process model, not the actual process model itself. So, the second import brought in the process model as a separate object, but the existing constant definition (pointing to the old location in the test environment) remained unchanged.

yeah we did. We had to import twice since multiple objects are being used across different applications and we were deploying multiple applications. While importing first time, the process model didnt get imported due to dependencies. When we imported 2nd time, process model got imported but constant didnt get updated and its showing no change in the log

Did you check the export and import logs?

No, its not environment specific

Marking a constant as environment-specific just creates a placeholder. It needs a customization file to actually work in different environments. Without that file, the constant will be empty or have a default value.

If your constant is environment specific you have to import customization file.

Is the constant environment specific
