Getting fatal error when editing an open case to change case type or open date in Beta 7. In Beta 9, Case type change seems to work but still fatal error in Open Date change.

There were other errors in different case activity creations before Beta 7 including Link Case activity which are now resolved. All these fatal errors seems to stem from one change in CRM_Case_Form_Activity class where the property $_caseId has been changed to array instead of integer.

Seems not all classes under CRM/Case/Form/Activity folder were updated to consider the change of type from integer to array. Therefore, need to add the fix provided in CRM_Case_Form_Activity_LinkCases class to all the classes under the folder above:

    if (!isset($form->_caseId)) {
      CRM_Core_Error::fatal(ts('Case Id not found.'));
    }
    if (count($form->_caseId) != 1) {
      CRM_Core_Resources::fatal(ts('Expected one case-type'));
    }

    $caseId = CRM_Utils_Array::first($form->_caseId);
Then in code, use the $caseId variable instead of $form->_caseId in classes or places where we are expecting single case ID.
