Classcast exception after flowable version upgrade to 6.8.0

Hi,
I have recently upgraded from 6.7.2 to 6.8.0 and after that I am getting below Classcast exception. Here error boundary event is added to Call Activity which is calling child process in parallel call activity.

Due to above exception, job is moving to timer job table with message type But the record is not deleted from job table. Thus flowable-bpmn-acquire-timer-jobs-move is faling saying jobid already exists.

Moreover even after adding flowable:noWaitStatesAsyncLeave=“true”, I am getting FlowableOptimisticLock exception.

Please help.

Thanks,
Prasanta
