Workflow Engine

Breaking Change Notice (2022.1.4)

This page details the breaking changes in Workflow Engine for the 2022.1.4 release.

Deep Merge Task Input Variables

Input variables to the deepmerge task that are not objects are ignored to ensure the task does not error and the workflow runs successfully across all versions of Itential Platform.

To illustrate, the input values something and 42 in the figure below will be ignored and treated as empty variables.

Figure: Non-Object Input Variables

The task output returns the following result. Only the object keys for color and type are recognized.

{
  "color": "red",
  "type": "car"
}

What Should I Do?

To fully capture all key values in a newly merged object, review any workflows that might reference the deepmerge task and make sure all input variables are objects.
