Missing instruction text on multi-step form

[josenavas]

Hi,

Recently, I tried adding instruction text to a Form view (that is part of a Data object). When I configure a multi-step view in my workflow and add the embedded list of the data object, I can choose the form view I configured at the beginning, however, the instruction text is missing, and also in the preview of the Form view.

This is how it looks when I run the case:

Below is the configuration I used for the form view I created in the Data object: (notice the instruction text is missing in the preview)

Case step view configuration:

Is the above a limitation on instruction text when configured in Data object’s views? or I might have missed something in the configuration above.

Thanks for consider this.

P.S. I’m using Pega Infinity '24.2.2

@josenavas are you sure its the multi-step form that is the cause? I see you are trying to add instruction text on the embedded data (multiple records), aka pagelist. My understanding is that instruction text is only for step level (assignment) so its likely the pega component is not rendering this by design.

You could raise an incident with Pega Support, it could be a bug. However, to address your immediate need, I have seen projects implement a “instructions” field and put this in your view used inside the embedded data list.
