3613428 - Impact of Editing Linked Dictionary Items in Sap Signavio Process Manager

Symptom

  • When editing a dictionary item, there is a pop-up stating how many diagrams will be affected, and asking that all affected diagrams are closed and not being edited somewhere.
  • What could happen if affected diagrams are not closed?

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Edit a dictionary item that is linked to multiple diagrams.
  2. Observe the warning pop-up asking that all affected diagrams are closed and not being edited somewhere.

Resolution

If the linked processes are not closed, it could lead to data inconsistency. Changes made to the dictionary entries might not be reflected correctly in the diagrams.
