Change Request Model does not return the correct default value for custom default state when using getInitialState - Known Error

Change Request Model does not return the correct default value for custom default state when using getInitialState Description Where there is an amended default value for change requests state, so other than -5, there is a method that gets the initial value (getInitialValue) that is hard coded to -5.

Steps to Reproduce

1 - Create a new choice type for state field on change request (e.g.: label: draft value - 6). 2 -Edit the dictionary override record for the state field for change request and set the defualt value to the new choice type: e.g. -6. 3 - Set the property "com.snc.change_management.change_model.type_compatibility" to true. 4 - Create a new change request. The initial state value should show the created choice type, e.g.: Draft, but shows instead as "New".

Workaround This problem has been fixed. If you are able to upgrade, review the Fixed In section to determine the latest version with a permanent fix your instance can be upgraded to.

As a workaround, open the Script Include ChangeRequest and create a function with the script shown below, which will overwrite the read-only version that has the -5 hard-coded:

getInitialState: function() { var api = this._getAPI(); if (!api.getInitialState) { var defaultValue = sys_meta.change_request.state.default_value; if (defaultValue === '' || defaultValue.startsWith('javascript:')) return "-5"; //New in both state models else return defaultValue; } return api.getInitialState(); },

The above code will retrieve the default value for the state field if there is not api method present.
