Error description

• When you try to assign an array containing business objects to a
  variable of type list containing business objects, the statement
  does not throw an exception but results in an empty list.
  

Local fix

• Instead of assigning the list directly, fill the list by adding
  the following lines to your JavaScript snippet:
  
  // convert a native array to a tw list
  var list = new tw.object.listOf.MyBO();
  for (var i=0; i<array.length; i++) {
   list.insertIntoList(i, a[i]);
  }
  

Problem summary

• No additional information is available.
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix is available for IBM BPM that converts the array
  containing business objects to a list containing business
  objects correctly.
