Well since we are working in our DEV environment any changes applied are saved in the TIP so any changes are sort of updated in real time. Also you question depend heavily on how you have designed your process. In our case the data mapping was performed in an initial step of the process so it only applied when the we created a new case and the system tried to initiate the process. Also as far as i know the case properties are not accessible directly inside a task (coach) so already started instances that had reached the task already was not effected by this.

Hi. Did the error occur when you tried opening a task from a NEWLY CREATED PROCESS or just when tried to open one from an earlier saved version of the project?

Hello Robin.
Thank you for sharing this with me because it solved the issue. I went back to the case and edited the case property by adding a default value to the property and then i tried running the process and now it picked up the data with no errors.
Interesting that it is only needed for new case properties and not properties that was created initially. But at least now it works so thank you.

@Christian Lejon
We faced similar issue,not sure if its same.
Issue was "has default" was turned on if i recall correctly.
So basically after adding new properties ,you night have to uncheck and check "has default" again to generate new vars.
Else
try
tw.local.caseProperties.prolongationProcessId ={}
tw.local.caseProperties.prolongationProcessId.value ="New value";
Hope it helps
Thanks
Robin

Hi.
I have a case solution project with an attached internal process. I have mapped some process data to the case properties when i initially created the process and these mappings works fine. However i wanted to add another property to the case solution and map some process data to that new property. While the new property show up in the process, running the process results in an error as below. (Its a basic string to string value)
[11/27/23 9:12:54:420 CET] 00026c9e BPDEngineServ E CWLLG0371E: Failed to start Process: Perform Prolongation Restart Internal for Project: CML_Prolongation, SnapshotName: unnamed_snapshot, SnapshotId: TIP(Snapshot.deb0f383-77cc-4271-a26d-12aa6bf643a9).

As you can see on the error it is unable to map the data and shows an error that i have not seen before.
However i found a way to get around this error by using:
tw.system.currentProcessInstance.parentCase.setCasePropertyValues(new tw.object.listOf.String(['CMLPR_prolongationProcessId']), new tw.object.listOf.String(["test2"]))
But still seems odd that adding new case properties does not work with a normal property mapping?
I have tested creating new case properties but still the same. I have tested to wait a day to see if it kicks in due to some delay but still the same. I have tested to create new snapshot of the case solution.
So if anyone has any insight to what could cause this problem please share.
