Problem : In Playbook, upon adding a new stage in between other stages, it is being placed in a parallel branch rather than the intended sequence. Automatic stage numbering is not happening, and the system does not allow the newly created stage to be removed.
Trouble Shooting :
- Inserting a stage between existing stages fails with an error.
- Adding a stage near the end of the Playbook (for example, after Stage 37 when Stage 38 is the final stage) is successful.
- The issue appears to occur only when adding a stage in the middle of the stage sequence.
- We tried using the Child variants, but that also did not help
Additional Information:
- Existing Playbook contains approximately 38 stages.
- The issue is consistently reproducible.
- Adding stages at the end of the Playbook works without any issues.
Query : Is using a nested playbook the right approach for this scenario?
- Create a separate sub-playbook for each major stage in the parent playbook.
- Move all activities belonging to a stage from the parent playbook into the corresponding sub-playbook.
- Configure the parent playbook to call the relevant sub-playbook as an activity within that stage
