Issues with workflows after upgrading to Ansible Automation Platform 2.5

The following workflow-related issues may occur after upgrading to Ansible Automation Platform 2.5:

• Workflow job template tags overwrite workflow job template node tags
• The extra_vars variable is not persistent

Workflow job template tags overwrite workflow job template node tags

Jobs in a workflow node do not get tags from their associated workflow node tags.

Workaround

Go to the API for the problematic workflow job template and PATCH {"job_tags": null, "skip_tags": null}

Extra variables are not persistent

When you add extra variables (extra_vars) to a workflow job template node editor, it’s not persisted to the backend. The UI does not send extra_vars in the payload to the workflow node creation/update.

Workaround

Go to your workflow job template node in the API browser i.e. /api/controller/v2/workflow_job_template_nodes//
Issue a PATCH request to update the extra_vars with your serialized YAML data.
