Exercise in Learning Journey Building side-by-side extensions on SAP BTP causes endless requests

[K4I]

In Learning Journey Building side-by-side extensions on SAP BTP -> Exercise Adding custom business logic there is some error. When testing the app everything seems fine but when I want to create a new Risk then the app freezes due to thousands of error messages. I checked out the solution branch to make sure I didn't cause the error myself.

Error Message: Failed to drill-down into criticality, invalid segment: criticality (see screenshot)

What is causing the problem?

Has no one a suggestion? It's really easy to replicate. Just check out the branch, start the app and create a new risk.

Greetings.

I cloned the repository and switched to the branch containing the solution ( "...solution/3..." ).  After running the "npm ci" command I tested the application ( by using "cds watch" ) and encountered no errors while trying to create a new risk.  Looking at the error messages below it does seem to be centered around the "criticality" field.  Did you leave that field "null" while trying to create a new entry?  That might could be the issue.  Otherwise I'm not sure why you're getting that error.

Oh, Hi Mark! I just tried it and the error didn't occur again. Very strange. But thank you for trying it out!
