is pega API as per design not meant to create temporary work objects. our req - do some validation based on received incoming payload and if all mandatory info is not received, we dont want to create a case in Pega.

when we do so we are getting error - Pega_API_014

On further troubleshooting - came across this activity pzValidateCreateCase which sets the error code in API response when workPage.pzInsKey=="". In case of temporary work object – pzinskey is obvious to be empty hence this failure

Came across few articles on PDN related to this topic confirming the theory for Pega 7.2.2  - can someone confirm if applicable for 8.3.1 as well.
