Error description

• When using case REST APIs, you can retrieve a case type or a
  case resource. The data returned is JSON. After you upgrade to
  IBM Business Automation Workflow 20.0.0.2, you notice the name
  attribute of a choiceList item is different and existing
  functions or methods that rely on the case REST API choiceList
  attribute no longer function correctly.
  
  Before the choiceList looked like this:
  
              "ChoiceList": {
                  "DisplayName": "CmAcmCaseStateChoiceList",
                  "Choices": [{
                          "ChoiceName": "New",
                          "Value": 0
                      }, {
                          "ChoiceName": "Initializing",
                          "Value": 1
                      }, {
  ....
  
  After the upgrade, the choiceList looks like this:
  
              "ChoiceList": {
                  "DisplayName": "CmAcmCaseStateChoiceList",
                  "Choices": [{
                          "DisplayName": "New",
                          "Value": 0
                      }, {
                          "DisplayName": "Initializing",
                          "Value": 1
                      }, {
  ....
