trying to change the setting of a workflow in the new admin UI does not work

[mwuttke]

Describe the bug
If I want to change the setting straightToPublishing in the new admin UI, for example in the workflow schedule-and-upload, i.e. from true to false, this apparently does not work. In this case, I get the error message: “The event could not be saved”.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to the admin interface and create a new event, select Schedule single event
2. Select the schedule-and-upload workflow with the straightToPublishing option set to true and save the schedule task.
3. Once the scheduled task is saved, open in the admin UI for that event under actions Workflows and try to change the default setting for straightToPublishing from true to false by unchecking the checkbox
4. See opencast error log:

Expected behavior

The changes described should have been saved and then displayed.

User environment:

• Device: [PC]
• OS: [Linux Mint]
• Browser [Firefox]
• Opencast Version [15.10]

Is this a configuration error or a bug in Opencast?

I can confirm this, plus the straightToPublishing setting is not displayed correctly. If you look at an event where the straightToPublishing checkbox was checked when the event was created, it won't be displayed as checked when you look at it in the UI later. If you check the settings via the API, you will see that straightToPublishing was correctly set to true.
