Summary

Known Issue Details

VS-139

"Pending Tasks" field refreshes too slowly after route withdrawal.

The Pending Tasks field in qTest and Jira is not immediately updated when the record is approved or rejected in VERA.  The cached values are updated when the user invokes a browser refresh.

VS-447

User Administrator role can see Signature Verification Failure Report and Re-verify

A User Administrator can access the Signature Verification reporting section of the Administration Portal.  This feature should be limited to System Administrators.

VS-698

Vera cannot create a qTest record if two fields in the record have the same name

The Vera/qTest integration does not support importing records from qTest where the record has two fields with the same name.  If such a record is routed for approval from qTest, then an error will occur.

VS-700

User sees duplicate approval tasks for the same record in approval queue

If an approval route contains two pending tasks for the same role (e.g. two Technical approvals) then an eligible approver will see both tasks in their queue.

VS-962

Approval Queue user filter uses RegEx can match different users

Due to regular expression matching, a record that has been signed by one user may cause another user's approval queue to exclude the record when it should be available.

VS-988

VERA DevOps does not apply a default approval route

If a record is routed for approval that does not satisfy any configured route templates, the user will see "VERA is trying to start the approval route" rather than a descriptive error containing the reason why the route was not started.

VS-1064

An error is displayed when splitting an issue in the standard VERA Jira workflow

Atlassian’s create issue property prevents the splitting of a record. Combined with inconsistencies around workflow permissions, the error message displayed is currently unable to be addressed.

VS-1065

A misleading error message is displayed when VERA cannot apply a final approval

VERA will display a misleading error message when it fails to transition a Jira issue in the workflow.  The error message displayed to the user will indicate that there is a connectivity problem, even if it's actually a configuration problem. 

VS-1243

Invalid Approval Group error log should indicate with group or line number the error is on

Currently error log does not display approval group details when invalid approval group is logged. 

VS-1293

Final approval fails when Jira projects are configured with a Signatures field

VERA will attempt to write the entire approval route to the Jira Signatures field if the field is present in the Jira project. If the approval route contains over 255 characters the Approval will fail since VERA is attempting to write over 255 characters to the field.

VS-1419

Routing records for approval - errors in logs

In the users module, when GET /users/{userId} endpoint is being called with a userId different from the request owner's userId, then users module responses with 403 Forbidden status code.

VS-1591

Password content can break qTest integration

Using a colon character (":") in the qTest Service Account password causes the qTest integration to fail. The colon character (":") is not supported and should not be used in service account passwords.

VS-1918

Filtering with a # sign causes a 500 error when filtering from the domains table

Special characters may cause an error when attempting to apply a filter to the domains table.

VS-2123

Some special characters don't work in Record Name search on Record page

Using special characters in the Record Name search can cause an error when returning the results of the search.

VS-2156

Domains do not display in approval queue if the name begins with $

Domains that begin with a special character may not appear in the approval queue. Records for the domain will still be displayed but the domain column will appear as empty.

VS-2721

HTML Sanitization for qTest/VERA

Formatting for qTest records do not display as intended in VERA when the user enters the formatting tags in qTest rather than using the text editor icons. It is recommended that users format their text (bold, italicize, etc) by using qTest’s text editor.

VS-2864

User GUID is displayed instead of display name

Custom fields with a user selection dropdown display in the web portal as the user’s ID rather than the user’s name.

VS-3346

MongoDB cannot connect when password is not encoded

MongoDB passwords must be URI encoded for MongoDB specifications.
