Known issues and limitations

Issue

Summary

Notes

VS-139

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

The "Pending Tasks" field in qTest and Jira doesn't immediately update when the record is approved or rejected in Vera. The cached values update when the user invokes a browser refresh.

VS-698

Vera can't create a qTest record if two fields in the record have the same name.

The Vera-qTest integration doesn't 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, an error occurs.

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 (for example, two Technical approvals), an eligible approver sees both tasks in their queue.

VS-988

Vera doesn't apply a default approval route.

If a record is routed for approval and doesn't match any configured route templates, an error message indicates Vera processed the record but no Approval Route was configured.

VS-1064

An error displays 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 can't be addressed.

VS-2864

User GUID displays 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 can't connect when password isn't encoded.

MongoDB passwords must be URI encoded per MongoDB specifications.

VS-3984

Empty bitmap image attachments display as broken links.

Empty bitmap images display as a broken link in Vera Record Details and Print View.

Filters in active user sessions page don't work with special characters.

The Username, Full Name, and Last Access columns on the Active User Sessions page fail to handle filtering on some special characters. No filter is applied.

VS-4992

User Import doesn't assign Domain Viewer role when a domain without roles is specified.

Importing a user into a domain without defining roles results in the user not being added to the domain, but the results file shows a successful addition.

VS-5352

Approval Queue filter for Assigned Date returns incorrect values when timezone is configured.

Filtering on a time in the approval queue may return incorrect results when the user has a configured timezone.

VS-5377

Print View data runs off the side of the page.

Data with long single-word values may run off the page or be truncated when printing a record.

VS-5378

Footer in Print View doesn't show time in user's set timezone.

The timestamp in print preview doesn't display in the user's Vera-configured timezone.

VS-5410

qTest records with custom fields that duplicate a Vera system field don't route for approval.

If a qTest project has a custom field that matches the name of a Vera system field, the entity can't be routed for approval. This is an unsupported configuration.

VS-5566

Status mismatch between Tosca and qTest when notification service is down during final approval.

When the notification service is down and a user applies final approval, the update fails on the Tosca side but succeeds on the qTest side.

VS-5604

VS-6468

Incorrect toast message when adding a project with special characters to a domain.

The display of Xray Test Parameters is inconsistent between Vera and Jira.

VS-6580

VS-7205

VS-7239

HTML Tables in a Test Step for Jira DC not displayed properly.

Tables originating from an Xray Test Step don't display correctly in Vera.

VS-7463

Using special characters in the filter on any column of the Workflow State Mapping Results table results in a page refresh with no filter applied.

VS-7676

Default Policy toggle doesn't update immediately.

The change to default policy isn't reflected immediately. Refresh the page to see the updated toggle.

VS-7774

PDF qTest Test Step breaks over page.

Adjust margin or page sizes to prevent cutoff. Minimum margins resolve the issue.

VS-7836

Updates to Policy aren't accurately reflected in Audit History Details.

In audit history, the Old Value for policy detail changes (name, description, owner) isn't accurately displayed. As a workaround, search through the audit history by the policy ID.

VS-7861

User timezone changes aren't respected with case-insensitive login.

If a user logs in with a different case than the username stored in the database and changes their timezone, the change doesn't take effect in Print View until the user logs out and logs back in.
