Support ticket reported that switching the Operator subscription from fast-1.2 to fast-1.3 did not trigger an upgrade. Despite installPlanApproval: Automatic being set, the upgrade did not occur until manual deletion and recreation of the Subscription or installation using CLI-based scripts. The issue appears resolved in later versions, but this ticket documents validation and closure.

Upstream Context:

• catalog-template.json MR

• OLM upgrade graph docs

Environment:

• OCP 4.16

• Operator upgrade from rhdh-operator.v1.2.x to rhdh-operator.v1.3.x via fast-1.y channels

• Using CLI and UI methods for subscription edits

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Deploy RHDH Operator via fast-1.2 channel

1. Edit Subscription to switch to fast-1.3

1. Observe whether CSV upgrade is triggered

Expected Result:
Operator upgrades automatically to latest 1.3.z CSV.

Actual Result:
No upgrade occurred; InstallPlan not generated. Logs showed existing CSV remained active.
