Workflow element update via REST doesn't validate given data

Created on 13 June 2023, over 1 year ago

Problem/Motivation

Modules in use

  • webform
  • webform_rest
  • webform_workflows_element

When webform submission is created with webform workflow element, there is row in the webform_submission_data with

  • name: workflow
  • propery: workflow_state
  • value:

Problem is that the property and value can be freely set with random value when using webform_rest patch.
Example of "invalid" PATCH payload workflow part

{
  ...
  "workflow": {
    "cat": "dog"
  }
}

Example of "valid" PATCH payload

{
  ...
  "workflow": {
    "workflow_state": "input_needed"
  }
}

Note that I haven't yet checked if the issue is on the webform_rest side.

Steps to reproduce

  • Configure a webform workflow
  • Create new webform
  • Add workflow element to the webform using the created workflow
  • Create new submission
  • Use example Postman to send the webform_rest PATCH request with the "invalid" payload

The database value can be seen with query select * from webform_submission_data where name='workflow' order by sid desc;.

Proposed resolution

Trigger error when webform is being validated.

Remaining tasks

  1. Find where the issue occurs in the code
  2. Write patch.
