Known Issues and Limitations

Key	Summary	Known Issue Details

Key	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-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-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. See link for more details: https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/reference/connection-string/
VS-3382	Role members list is not automatically refreshed when a new user is added to a Role	When adding a new user to a Role, the Role members list is not automatically refreshed, requiring the user to click the refresh table button
VS-3405	Some special characters don't work in all columns search on Approval Queue page	Filtering may return either an error or all records when attempting to use special characters when searching in the Approval Queue.
VS-3410	Some special characters don't work in all columns search on User Management page	Filtering may return either an error or all users when attempting to use special characters when searching in the User Management page.
VS-3993	Cannot re-route/withdraw approval for a record that has no domain association	A record that has previously been routed for approval at least one time cannot be re-routed or withdrawn from its current approval without its corresponding project being associated to a domain.
