Problem Short description Description Steps to reproduce

Service Catalog: Service Portal Widgets

PRB1304513

KB0720638

The 'Required information' section is empty when the title of the variable set is the same as the name of a mandatory variable An error appears in the console panel, and the 'Required information' section is empty.

Refer to the listed Known Error KB article for details.

Reporting

PRB1332175

Thin columns appear in column, trend, and bar reports, which makes them difficult to use and prevents the ability to drill into the data

Mobile (Classic)

PRB1347630

Incorrect timestamps for activity streams show up in the ServiceNow Agent mobile app when the timezone glide.sys.default.tz is set to various values, for example, Europe/London, US/Eastern, and Europe/Amsterdam
  1. Change the following system property glide.sys.default.tz to the value 'Europe/London'.
  2. Clear cache.
  3. Assign an incident or wm_task to the system administrator, and set the timezone field value of the system admin sys_user record to 'System' or 'Europe/London'.
  4. Log in to the ServiceNow Agent mobile app as the above system administrator, and access the above record.
  5. Add a work note.

Notice that the timestamp registers as ''Europe/London' + 3 hours'. The ServiceNow Agent mobile app shows incorrect timestamps ('Europe/London' + 3hours) for activity streams when glide.sys.default.tz is set to 'Europe/London'. However, if you open the same record from desktop, the timestamp correctly shows as 'Europe/London', which is the user's current timezone in the instance.

Asynchronous Message Bus

PRB1349642

KB0754314

The Asynchronous Message Bus (AMB) JS client does not correctly re-subscribe to channels after a disconnect If users navigate away from Safari to another app such as Messages or Email and then back to Safari after a minute, the AMB will not be correctly connected and new messages will not show.

  2. Disconnect the internet for more than 30 seconds.
  3. Reconnect the internet.
  4. Try resuming the chat between the two users.

Notice that the second user does not get the message you attempt to send.

Graph API

PRB1354873

GraphQL $$parent$$ notation to access outer parent objects is not thread-safe

Currently in GraphQL, references to parent objects can be shared amongst more than one thread when multiple GraphQL queries using the $$parent$$ notation are sent in parallel. They share the same parent context when they should each have their own.

If one (usually large) request containing the outer parent object reference is made and another is kicked off while the first one is still running, the second one shares the same parent object reference as the first. This means that when the first one completes and it calls clearParent(), thread two's reference to this object is gone and an exception is thrown.

Hidden master detail screens are transformed into visible list screens The Madrid migration transforms master detail screens into a list screen and a form screen. If the master detail screen is marked as hidden, the resultant list screen should not be visible in the corresponding icon section, but currently it is.
  1. In Madrid, create a custom master detail screen which is hidden.
  2. Upgrade the instance to New York.
  3. Open Mobile Studio.
  4. Find the master detail screen in the list of applets and open it.

Inconsistent order of items in the list screen with multiple interleaved item streams

  1. Create a list screen with one segment and two item streams.
  2. Configure the item streams with data items, for example, incidents and wm_task, and each of them is sorted by a certain field, for example, short description.
  3. Configure each item stream to use the respective table and the interleaved field.
  4. Configure the interleaved field to use the same field which was used in the data item for the sorting.
  5. Open the list screen and observe the order of the two items which have the same value for the specified field.
  6. Use the exact same configuration, but delete the sys_sg_item_stream_m2m_segment records and create new ones (i.e. create the same mapping but with different sys_ids).
  7. Open the list screen again and observe the order of the two items mentioned above.

Expected behavior: The order of the items should be the same for a certain configuration (as long as the data have not changed). At least, changing the sys_sg_item_stream_m2m_segment records should make it possible for the user to determine a specific order.

Actual behavior: The order of the items might be reversed. For example, if the description in the two items is the same, such as 'Hello World', one being the description of an incident and the other being the description of a WOT, then sometimes the incident comes first and the WOT afterwards, and sometimes the order is reversed. No changes in configuration can be made for the order to be consistent.
