What’s happening?
Customers have reported issues with the behavior of pasting values directly into Enum fields on a screen, where the pasted values do not save and revert to the original values upon refreshing the screen. Additionally, there are requests for extending standard Enums that are not marked as extensible.
Reason:
The underlying cause for this with pasting values into Enum fields is related to the system's handling of input methods. When values are pasted directly, the internal processing triggered differs from when values are selected from an option list. For the standard Enum extension, the limitation arises from the property being set to non-extensible, preventing the addition of new elements.
Resolution:
- For this with pasting values into Enum fields:
- It has been confirmed that the behavior occurs as described. The recommended workaround is to use the option list for input instead of pasting values directly.
- Consider utilizing RSAT functionality or implementing solutions on the RPA tool side to handle input more effectively.
- For the standard Enum extension:
- It is important to note that there is an existing deliverable for the request to add a new element to the standard Enum. However, since the Enum is not extensible, there is no ETA for this functionality.
- Customers should monitor upcoming releases, starting with the next possible release, to check if the requested functionality has been included.
