Thanks Alessandro for documenting it :-)

Hi Alberto, I've solved in this way:

&lt;#assign STATUS_APPROVED = staticFieldGetter.getFieldValue("com.liferay.portal.kernel.workflow.WorkflowConstants", "STATUS_APPROVED")/&gt;

Hi Alessandro,
Can you try with other classes in portal-kernel? it seems that the template can't see this jar somehow.

Hi everyone!
On Liferay 7.2.0 CE GA1, inside a Web Content Template we had the following import of static constants:

WorkflowConstants = staticUtil["com.liferay.portal.kernel.workflow.WorkflowConstants"]

After an upgrade to Liferay 7.2.1 CE GA2, this snippets does not work anymore and the error reported is the following:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.liferay.portal.kernel.workflow.WorkflowConstants cannot be found by com.liferay.portal.template.freemarker_5.0.16

With other imports, for example

 WindowState = staticUtil["javax.portlet.WindowState"]

, everything seems working as before, we got this error only for WorkflowConstants.
Any ideas or workaround on how to solve this?
Thank you.
