Pega Robotics The Activity Does not Have A Property Named
Hi team.
Robotics Studio version: 8.0.2033.0
Pega version: 7.3.1
I'm developing an RPA robotics solution with two properties from Pega for one of my activities.
I created a robot activity. I have set the class. I can choose the fields and add to the collection. I can use the fields/properties in my automation. The project is effectively launched from Pega.
When the project runs, one of the properties is not coming to the robot with a log message "The '<activityName>' activity does not have a property named: '<propertyName>'. Setting to default value."
The property exists in Pega and is added to the relevant records for the configured class.
I am able to connect to the configured class and select the property from the list to include in my automation.
The property is populating with a value on the work object in Pega.
In studio: I have tried cleaning and building the solution several times. I have tried emptying the project cache folders. I have tried rebuilding the robot activity after completely deleting it.
In Pega: I have tried removing from relevant records and adding it back again. (I'm not sure if it is important, but the property doesn't appear on a search. I have to use "old:" to see it.)
I do not know if the second property is discovered correctly when the robot runs because the project fails due to the first one being set to null.

Please let me know if there is something else I should be doing.
Thank you,

Hi. The issue appears to have occurred because I pulled the properties from the dev region to build the bot, but was throwing the error in the SIT environment when attempting to read the properties. I spent another day recreating the entire project pulling the property from our SIT environment when building the robot activity in a new global container. Since rebuilding the entire project, the issue has not occurred.
This isn't the solution anybody wants, but it worked for me.

Update to the issue.
I have created a separate testing project and recreated the robot activity with the same properties. When I run this testing project the property is recognized and displayed without errors.
But when I recreate the same robot activity within the existing project, the error still exists.
Edit: I attempted to add an existing item to the primary project and bring in the working robot activity from the test project. I used the properties from the working activity in my automation but again am seeing the same issue.
