Processor is invalid due to missing required property

Modified on Thu, 11 Dec, 2025 at 6:12 PM

Summary

This occurs when a processor has required fields that are not configured. Clockspring will not allow it to run until all required properties are filled in.

Symptom

  • Processor displays as invalid

  • Bulletins warn about missing required properties

  • Flow cannot be started

Root Cause

  • Required settings were never configured

  • A template import cleared values

  • A processor upgrade added new required properties

  • A sensitive field is blank after import because sensitive values never carry over

How to Fix It

Open the processor

Fill in values for any property marked as required.

Review sensitive properties

Sensitive values like passwords do not survive templates or exports. Re-enter them manually.

Validate new properties

If you upgraded Clockspring, check for new required fields introduced in that version.


Prevention

  • Always review processor properties after importing templates

  • Document expected values for sensitive properties

  • When upgrading Clockspring, review release notes for new required configuration
