The Icons of Stage Are Broken On Requested Item List

Issue Summary:
We are experiencing a critical UI regression where the Stage icons on the Requested Item [sc_req_item] list view break and fail to render. This issue specifically occurs when a Flow Designer Subflow triggers/calls a legacy Workflow.
Upon inspecting the DOM, the image URL generated for the stage icon is corrupted, resulting in a 404 Not Found error.
Technical Findings & Inspect Element Analysis:
  • The generated src path for the broken icon image is misconfigured/corrupted.
  • Example from HTML inspect: src="es/heisenberg_icons/scons/images/workflow_g.gifx.png" (Notice the corrupted folder names and the dual extension .gifx.png).
  • The system is trying to fetch a non-existent asset path instead of the standard ServiceNow heisenberg icon directory.
Steps to Reproduce:
  1. Create a Flow Designer Flow/Subflow that contains an action/step to invoke a standard Workflow.
  2. Trigger the Flow so that a new Requested Item (RITM) record is generated.
  3. Navigate to Service Desk > Requested Items (sc_req_item.list).
  4. Look at the Stage column for the newly created RITM (e.g., RITM0040627).
  5. The stage icons render as broken image squares with overlapping text (Request Approved, test1, test2, etc.).
Actual Behavior:
The icon image path is corrupted, causing a 404 error, and the list view displays broken image elements with misaligned stage labels.
Expected Behavior:
The system should generate the correct standard asset path for workflow stage icons (e.g., pointing correctly to the styleguide/heisenberg_icons/... directory) even when invoked via a Flow Designer Subflow.
Impact:
  • Severity: Medium (UI/UX Malfunction)
  • Users Affected: All ITIL Fulfillers and Service Desk Agents. The overlapping broken icons make it highly difficult to read and track the current linear stage progression of active requests.

Current Release/Patch: Australia Patch 2
