Known Limitations

Limitations

This article is dedicated to listing known limitations that are not - at this time - expected to be fixed.

  • Prior to R-4.3.0, attribute_value() function may raise an error when the first element of a POSIXct vector set as value parameter is NA. This is due to missing origin in the call to as.POSIXct.
    From R-4.3.0, origin is no longer a required parameter:

    This impacts the create & update trigger workflows.
    To bypass this issue, make sure the values sent to the trigger for POSIXct attributes fits with the expected class (at least the first element of the vector).

    class(c(Sys.time(), NA))
[1] "POSIXct" "POSIXt"

class(c(NA, Sys.time()))
[1] "numeric"

    In the second case, even after NA is replaced by the default value out of the data model, the vector will keep the numeric type. The function will detect it and perform a type conversion to fit with the data model by calling as.POSIXct with the arguments given in the data model. Passing origin to the data model default function should also solve the problem.
