Hi everyone,
I encountered an issue regarding saving process variable using a!startProcess -> onSuccess on version 25.4, the fv!processInfo.pv.subCategory was not saved back into local variable ri!checkStatusofChangingCategory. Here is the code:
a!startProcess( processModel: cons!NFL_CONS_PROCESS_CHANGE_CASE_TYPE_CATEGORY, processParameters: { subCategory: ri!subCategory, newCategoryId: local!selectedNewCategory }, onSuccess: { ri!saveInto, a!save( ri!checkStatusofChangingCategory, append( ri!checkStatusofChangingCategory,fv!processInfo.pv.subCategory ) ), a!save( local!currentCategory, local!selectedNewCategory ), a!save(ri!subCategory, null), a!save(local!selectedNewCategory, null),
a!startProcess(
processModel: cons!NFL_CONS_PROCESS_CHANGE_CASE_TYPE_CATEGORY,
processParameters: {
subCategory: ri!subCategory,
newCategoryId: local!selectedNewCategory
},
onSuccess: {
ri!saveInto,
a!save(
ri!checkStatusofChangingCategory,
append(
)
),
local!currentCategory,
local!selectedNewCategory
a!save(ri!subCategory, null),
a!save(local!selectedNewCategory, null),
} )
}

The major difference between a!startProcess_24r3 and latest a!a!startProcess is about auto scaled and asynchronous process handling. Depending on the state of process the properties returned can vary. For example, as per the ProcessInfo properties, onInComplete for a synchronous process returns empty pv list. Using just isSynchronous as true would return pv value for a Synchronous process.
So Can you try once just with the isSynchronous flag and without onInComplete attribute and see if it works.
