APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • Component templates are allowed to have empty values for
    required fields because they can check "prompt value on use".
    However, when upgrading plugins, the component templates ends up
    following the same codepath as components and its values are
    validated at the PropValue level. This can cause adverse effects
    like failing a plugin upgrade.
    

Local fix

  • Give the component templates dummy values for required fields
