CauseThe 'Create Business Impact Analysis' node in the Advanced Workflow conducts a lookup against a field in the 'Assessment Campaign' application. This lookup is hardcoded to the GUID for the 'Completion Status' field.
ResolutionSubmitted ARCHER-43321 for Development to determine final resolution
WorkaroundThe BIA Use Case does not properly contain the 'Assessment Campaign' Application and it must be manually installed.
Additionally, the Application must be licensed in the customer environment to be installed as it falls under the Operation Risk Management use case.
NotesThis issue only applies to customers who have upgraded to 6.x. This issue does not apply to fresh installs of 6.x as the  'Assessment Campaign' Application is installed as part of the installation process.
