SA-8296

Error Messages
Not Applicable
Steps to Reproduce
1. Enter text into a note gadget outside the context of the current flow action.
2. Click the custom button that finishes the current assignment, closes the current work object, and gets the next work object.
Root Cause
The root cause of this problem is a defect in Pegasystems’ code/rules, where unsubmitted note data is retained on the clipboard for the current thread resulting in this data being accessible if the thread is reused.
Resolution
This issue is resolved by the combination of hotfix item HFix-21087, which allows for proper cleanup of threads before they are used again, and a Local-change to explicitly remove the page "Note" in scenarios where the thread context does not change but the work object context does.
