3424188 - Explorer shows [object Object] in the column instead of dictionary entry

Symptom

I wanted to display a value of an attribute on the diagram level, but instead of the value Explorer shows "[object Object]".

Reproducing the Issue

  • under Setup ⇾ "Notation / Attributes", on the Diagram level, create an attribute of type single line text, let's call it "delete-me"
  • Open "Edit general configuration" from Setup
  • Add the column to the view
  • Create a model and use the attribute. Save it
  • Remove the attribute from the workspace ("Notation / attributes" from Setup)
  • Add new attribute of type "Dictionary link" to the workspace with the same name as before "delete-me"
  • Create a new model using the new attribute
  • Reload Explorer and check the view

 

Cause

Illegal change of the attributes type, which Process Manager cannot handle.

Resolution

To fix the issue, you need to define the attribute for display from the start. Open the "Edit general configuration", remove the attribute from the column. Save the configuration. Open the configuration again, add the new attribute, and save.
