Issue

  • I created a notification in a node of my Workflow and inside the Template field I placed a content that has the character "%", for example:
    <![CDATA[We received your shipment %]]>
  • After saving and reopening the Workflow, all settings are lost.
  • The following error appears in the DevTools Console:
    Uncaught (in promise) URIError: URI malformed
    at decodeURIComponent (<anonymous>)
    at c.sanitizeDefinitionXML (xmlDefinition.js:345:11)
    at new c (xmlDefinition.js:23:16)
    at c.updateXMLDefinition (deserializeUtil.js:245:25)
    at DiagramBuilder.js:359:7

Environment

  • Liferay DXP 7.4 Update 39

Resolution

  • The observed behavior is a known issue which is addressed via: LPS-166206 - Decoding of URI is unsuccessful when the template contains "%" character in Workflow Definition.
