Hi Andreas Rusch and Reguel Wermelinger, thanks for the update and quick action to fix the issue! Is there any chance that the fix could be backported to 7.0 LTS? We don't have the option to upgrade to Leading Edge for the time being.

Yeah I see. The most common use case is to use the repo in combination with a BusinessCase. But the relation is not strictly enforced and lives in a separate db table. So it looks like a minor bug to me. I opened an issue for it: https://jira.axonivy.com/jira/browse/XIVY-3074

The BusinessDataRepository is designed and powerful because the data in it is usually attached to a IBusinessCase. So it makes sort of sense to me that the example here does not work with the ivy.repo() API as there is no Task or Case set up when a client uses the REST api.

But the relation (between repo & BusinessData) is not strictly enforced and lives in a separate db table. So it looks like a minor bug to me. I opened an issue for it: https://jira.axonivy.com/jira/browse/XIVY-3074

Workaround up till then: store data that is associated with a IBusinessCase in a process. Within it you have a Task/Case.
