Open SPR : Copy a transition messed up the actions order

SOLIDWORKS SolidWorks PDM

Seems to be an old bug and we obviously have A LOT of actions in our copied transition… :melting_face:

BR Article: BR10000348510
Status: Open

Transition action order listing is reversed when that transition is copied

Product: SOLIDWORKS PDM
OS: Windows 10 64 bits
Detected level(s): SOLIDWORKS 2020 SP4
Platform: n/a

Description 1. Edit the ‘Passed Approval’ transition of the default workflow and add a transition action ‘Set Variable’ action to update the ‘Description’ variable. This is listed at the bottom of the list of transactions 2. Save the workflow 3. Copy and paste the above transition and note that the newly added transition action ‘1’ is now on top of the list order
Closure Information This issue is reported to Dassault Systèmes development team.

Can you just copy the copy?

That should be funny. IIRC the order is not exactly reversed, just messed up in many parts.

But it is worth a try: I hope it makes the transition actions correct → messed → correct again!

Make
Actions
Correct
Again

I tried copy the copy and it stays reversed.

SW is very good at developing bugs.

Crazy workaround from our VAR

1.open the workflow
2.open the transition property
3. from action tab add a random action
4. press OK twice and go back to the workflow
5. notice the save icon ON(do not save)
6. open again the transition and remove the previously added action
7. press OK twice and go back to the workflow
8. copy and paste the transition
9. check the action order that is now correct.

best UI from the best professional CAD software (sarcasm)

Copy transition seems bugged for notifications too. I had copy pasted to add a state, and the recipient and condition completely jumbled up.

I am not surprised…
