Unable to add association between assets if tail asset is 0th in list.

[fffe0d0a]

Attempted action

Creation of an association between two assets, wherein the tail asset is the first value to appear in the drop-down.

Expected behaviour

Association is correctly created with intended head and tail connections.

Actual behaviour

User receives error message stating "Tail Asset is required".

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

1. Create two or more assets
2. Navigate to the "Associations" tab in one of those assets (Risk > Assets > your asset > Environment > Associations)
3. Open Asset Association dialog (green plus icon)
4. Attempt to create an association wherein the "Tail" input is the first value in the provided drop-down.
5. Error message is received, association cannot be created.

I've tried reproducing this on Chromium, Opera, Firefox and Chromium without any success. What error message are you getting?

[fffe0d0a]

I have included an image of the dialog displaying the error at the top.

If Tail is set to any other asset, the association is completed as expected.
(I should note that "Clinical Client App" appears first alphabetically. If I rename the asset, this same association completes provided it is not first in the list.)

Can you please try doing the following.

1. Export your model (so you have a copy)
2. Run the update_cairis script
3. Once the VM restarts, try re-importing the model to see if you can reproduce the problem.

I made a UI change not long ago that might have fixed this problem, but - depending on when you downloaded or setup your VM - you might not be working with this fix.

[fffe0d0a]

I will do so and report back, many thanks.

If you still get the problem then please upload the simplest model that can reproduce the problem.

I'm afraid I'm still getting this issue. In this example model, I cannot create a reference from A to B, but I can create a reference from A to C.

Thanks - I can reproduce this now. The problem was in the cairis-ui repo, which I've now fixed. Can you try running update_cairis again (which will update the UI), clean your browser cache, and seeing if you reproduce the problem again?

[fffe0d0a]

I can confirm that the issue is now fixed for me after updating cairis. Many thanks for the quick fix.
