MQTT Extension weird behaviour under TW8

MQTT Extension weird behaviour under TW8

Hi,

I recently set up Thingworx 8 locally. I imported the MQTT Extension from the marketplace and experienced strange behaviour that didnt happen in Thingworx 7.

1. A property of a MQTT-Type Thing publishes its value when it changes even if the property is only mapped as subscriber to a topic

2. I use a subscription script to update other properties depending on the JSON values of the subscriber property. This script subscribes to the datachange event. It fires and works ok if I update the value manually but fails if the property value is updated by MQTT.

The error in the log is as follows:

The Code of my subscription is the following:

var decodedValue = eventData.newValue.value;

var createITParams = { infoTableName : "InfoTable", dataShapeName : "NamedVTQ" }; 

var properties = Resources["InfoTableFunctions"].CreateInfoTableFromDataShape(createITParams); 

//Max Displacement Update

var row = new Object();

row.name = "MaxDisplacement";

row.value = decodedValue.max_displacement;

row.time = decodedValue.timestamp;

properties.AddRow(row);

Ok I solved Problem Nr.2 myself... It works if you go to the InfoTableFunctions Object in Thingworx and then execute the AddVisibilityPermission Service with principal: Everyone principaltype: Organization

Still wondering why I have to do this though
