Summary
It was possible to set the
relatedProgram
property to the program itself. This then is a circular reference which causes all kinds of errors in other places but also in the app.In addition I found that following the app UI it seems that only tracker programs should have this property but it was possible to set it for event programs as well. So an additional validation was added to prevent this.
Automatic Testing
New scenario was added to verify that a program cannot reference itself as related program.
