Unable to update choice record in Application Portfolio Management for error "Invalid 'Choice' record even though the selected outside Table 'Business Application' is allowed" - Known Error

Unable to update choice record in Application Portfolio Management for error "Invalid 'Choice' record even though the selected outside Table 'Business Application' is allowed" Description Users trying to update the Choice record in Application Portfolio Management get the error:

Invalid 'Choice' record even though the selected outside Table 'Business Application' is allowed.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Go to Application Portfolio > Business Applications > New 2. Right click 'Technology Stack' > Configure dictionary. 3. Under 'Choices' select any option (for example Java). 4. Switch to Global in the application picker. 5. Select Inactive. 6. Save.

The following error is thrown: Invalid 'Choice' record even though the selected outside Table 'Business Application' is allowed. Invalid update.

As a consequence, users cannot update in either global or Application Portfolio management app.

Workaround This problem is fixed in all currently supported releases. Review the Fixed In section to determine the latest version with a permanent fix your instance can be upgraded to.

A possible simple workaround, since updating the sys_choice is not working fine, is to delete the record and create a new one to replace it. While creating the sys_choice record, make sure you are not in Global scope but on the other scope involved.
