Systems Browser - Build Query slide out becomes unresponsive after removing blank query item

When using the Build Query slide out to create a filter from the Systems Browser, it is possible to get into a partially unresponsive state. One way to get into this state is via the following actions:
  1. From the Systems Management -> Systems page, click the filter icon to open the Build Query slide out
  2. Press the blue "+" button to add a new query item
  3. Delete the new item via the "x" button on its right
  4. Click into a field in a query item and note that it no longer auto-populates and the rest of the item becomes unresponsive
To confirm this is the behavior you're seeing, open your browser's development tools and navigate to the console tab. Repeat the steps that caused the failure and you should see the following output:
Error TypeError: Cannot read property 'dataValue' of undefined

at Object.onInvodeTask (main.767261e...js:106)
at l.invokeTask (polyfills.af259fe...js:1)

Workaround:

option 1: Press the blue "+" button again to add a new item. All items in the query should become responsive again. Delete any unused query items once you've configured the query fully.
option 2: Press the "Cancel" button on the slide out and recreate the desired filter, avoiding the steps that caused the failure.

Steps may incorrectly be marked as failed or timed out when using Store and Forward

Stored requests that do not have a unique timestamp can be incorrectly sorted and forwarded out of order. Depending on the order, different symptoms can occur:
  • If the Main sequence step occurs before the create result step, the step and all of its children fail to be created
  • If the Update step occurs before the create step, the update step will fail and the step will remain in the running stage and will eventually timeout

Workaround:

There is currently no known workaround for this issue.

Store and Forward Service may crash when there are too many items in quarantine

Batch forwarding, a new feature added in the 21.5.1 SystemLink Client reads the entire store directory into memory before forwarding. When the store directory is too large, this results in significant memory consumption, which can crash the service or result in undesirable side effects.

Workaround:

There is currently no known workaround for this issue.

Reports may not be attached to Test Results when using Store and Forward in the TestStand TestMonitorClient

XML, PDF, System Software, and Asset Reports may not be properly attached to the test result when store and forward is being used. This is caused by a race condition that may mark the result update as complete before the reports have been attached, or if the System does not currently have a connection to the SystemLink Server.

Workaround:

There is currently no known workaround for this issue.

Store and Forward files may not be removed from disk after forwarding is complete

If multiple store and forward files have CloseFile updates with the same timestamp, only one will be removed from disk. This may result in extra files remaining on disk unnecessarily.

Steps and Results created by TestStand when Store and Forward is enabled may have an incorrect 'Started At' time

Steps and Results that are created by TestStand when Store and Forward is enabled will have a 'Started At' time that reflects when they are created on the server rather than when the test ran.
