Problems with workspace parameters in automations

Hello World!

I am experiencing unexpected behaviour related to the automations on FME Flow (2025.1.2), where a drop-down multichoice parameter is stuck on empty selection ("Select a choice"). Even after editing the automation and restarting it, when I refresh the page and check the parameters - it is empty again!

It seems like it is a display problem as the workspace runs with the choice I entered but then there is a second problem. The multichoice parameter is configured to produce a <space>-separated string, but the resulting string is a comma-separated string. I can compare the resulting parameter in the completed job logs when triggering the workspace manually vs when it is triggered from the automation.

There are more users with similar problems as discussed in the forum thread: Automation Parameters are Resetting | Community. I contacted the support crew at Safe Software, and they were aware of the issue. But until they come up with a permanent fix we need to find a temporary patch.

 

Has anyone else encountered similar issues recently? Did you find a workaround?

I believe it is useful to mention the version you have installed.

Good point! It is 2025.1.2. Edited the post.
