Yeah looks like this is what might have happened. As there was no specific reason for this, we will work towards removing this event.

Thanks for your input Stefan! Appreciate it!

I understand. Debugging messaging issues is really tricky as there is no information recorded.

But I saw situations in which a condition was ignored when the message did not contain that specific value.

These are old processes, still working this way. We are gradually simplifying these, yes I agree we should target a specific process or minimize the use of this event but this sudden behavior has made many of our instances terminate abruptly.

Also, we modified and deployed the process model which contains send message, could it be somewhere related to this issue?

Seems to be OK on the first sight. Is there a specific reason to broadcast that message instead of targeting a specific instance? I assume you are aware of the best practices around messaging.

Send and receive message configuration snapshot attached.

We are sending an ID from send message and same is validated in receive message. I confirm we have value for pv in send and receive process.

I only see this behavior in case the condition runs into an edge case. Can you share that code snippet and event configuration?
