Cryptic BPMN Simulation Error Message

[Paolo F Cantoni]

One of our BPMN simulations is returning the following error Message:

[158968347]      SIMULATION ERROR: invalid assignment left-hand side Expression: $RETURN$_of_2D&A_Report_Access_Management=sim['2D&A Report Access Management'].return;
It occurs as the simulation exits the lower-level business process "2D&A Report Access Management"

Does anyone know what it is trying to tell us?

TIA,
PAolo

That's a line of Javascript that is running in the background.

On the right hand side of the assignment is an example of safely handling any element name. On the left side is an example of not safely handling any element name.

The problem is apparently that the programmer replaced specific characters to try to get a valid Javascript identifier instead of replacing everything outside of known good values. (Or not using the original name for that variable at all)

The only thing you can do about it is remove the '&' from your element name.

Or sending a bug report in order to get EA handle it the right way.

Thanks, Eve,
that does remove the error message!
I have reported a defect, as q suggests.

That's good.

For the record my focus with that reply was what you can do to get it working today.

Understood, earlier, but it's still a defect.
