Tracer doesn't show running activity pyLaunchInternalCaseFlow for temp subcase (which, I suppose, initiates advancement by flow), - while it definitely is running for a permanent subcase.

One more intresting fact. Activity svcAddWorkObject calls activity addWork that have parameter tempItem with following description: 

If true create a temporary work object. (Not for covered objects).

Does it mean that it is not possible to create temporary child cases? 

It can be tried as a "Plan C", still... it can lead to additional rules to stop or to do something else with the case when it is out of parent etc. 

As a "Plan B" I am thinking to try putting verifications into constraints.

Hey CarissaW_GCS,

any news for me here? For my particularly case even constraints almost solved the issue, the last problem is that I didn't find yet any mechanism to strictly forbid standing alone childs... 

Still for the future it would be very usefull no know if Pega allows temporary subcases. 

SusanLiu, thanks for the link. Indeed, it says "

• Temporary work items cannot be members of a cover.

"

so it is really unpossible to create temporary child case and, alas, this is not the bug but the feature
