Here is a detailed version of this issue:

Validation errors in pop-up harness are wiped off, if the focus is shifted to the portal that launched the pop-up and then back to minimized pop-up window.

1. On click of a link in portal, we execute an activity and then launch harness in pop-up window

2. Pop-up displays a harness where user can do a quick search on application functionality.

3. Let's say if mandatory fields are left blank during search, form-level errors appear in pop-up (same is noticed in clipboard as well)

4. While the pop-up stays open, when I just click on the main portal window (to shift the focus from pop-up to main portal) and then open the minimized pop-up, form-level errors are cleared automatically (I believe some kind of refresh is happening)

Any idea on what's causing this issue?

Background: The very first time this is implemented in 7.1.7, form-level errors were not displayed in pop-up and to fix this, I've added the following to UserWorkForm HTML Fragment:

<script>

/* @Handler

   @protected Rollback element updates caused by popups launched from tabs.

   @return $void$

*/

pega.u.d.rollBackElementUpdate = function(){

var winObj = pega.desktop.support.getDesktopWindow();

if(winObj && winObj.document && winObj.document.getElementById('workarea')){

var oSafeURL = SafeURL_createFromURL(pega.u.d.url);

oSafeURL.put("pyActivity","pzUpdateElementModel");

oSafeURL.put("pzKeepPageMessages","true");

oSafeURL.put("elementAction","ROLLBACK");

pega.u.d.asyncRequest("GET",oSafeURL);

} }

</script>
