Comments

• <span><span>This works as design per the product designer.&#160; Here
  is what he wrote:<br/>I've read the pmr and this appears to be
  working as designed. In most cases, Maximo copies details from
  parent records to the children that get inserted under them. In
  this case it is a change record that gets tasks inserted under
  it. When the child record's field is null, we usually copy the
  parent's value down. When the child's field has a value we
  usually do not overwrite that value with the value from the
  parent. So, this seems to be working as
  designed.<br/><br/>***However, the client claimed that it used
  to work in 7114 the way they liked but not in 7117. <br/><br/>It
  is working as designed and has worked this way for some time
  now. We just had a hotfix 7114 that 'broke' it. The client saw
  this 'broken' behavior as correct behavior. That was
  unfortunate.<br/></span></span>
