PH20267: WHEN SUBMITTING APPLICATION PROCESS REQUESTS THROUGH THE API, PROCESS PROPERTIES WILL NOT BE VALIDATED AGAINST 'SELECT' OPTIONS

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Application Process Requests can have Process Properties of type
  'Select', you can then select from a list of predefined
  properties when running this process. On the CLI or via the REST
  API you are able to input any value and it's accepted as a valid
  process property.
  
  1. Create a component AppValidPropertiesValidation, with version
  v1. Create an application AppValidPropertiesValidation,
  application process Proc.
  Define on application process Proc an application process
  property prop1 with type Select, allowed values value1 and
  value2, and mark it as required.
  2. Create json with a not-allowed property value value3 for
  property prop1
  3a) Run the process via REST API
  3b) Run the process via udclient
  Both succeed even though they should not since the property does
  not have an allowed value.
