Symptom
Previously working data action suddenly returns the error ""There was an unexpected problem while validating this data action. Please refresh the page and try again" when opening the data action for editing, even before making any changes.
It is not possible to re-save the data action, so changes to existing data actions cannot be saved.
Environment
SAP Analytics Cloud 2024.8.10
Reproducing the Issue
Issue occurs with some but not all data actions.
Simply opening the data action for editing will result in the error.
Cause
Issue occurs when one or more of the data action steps has a target version parameter with a specific value and another version parameter has an empty value.
Resolution
Development is working on a fix for this issue to allow for blank version parameters in data actions as these should be allowed.
In the interim if you need to urgently use an affected data action, go to the Parameters definition for the data action, look for any Version parameter, and enter a default value if blank.
