IV91502: IF THE NAME OF A CLASSIFICATION VALUE IS CHANGED, RECORDS & QUERIES REFLECT THE CHANGE BUT FILTERS USING THE VALUE FAIL

APAR status

• Closed as documentation error.

Error description

• If the name of a classification value is changed
  (e.g. if the out-of-the-box 'Easement' Land Class value is
       changed to be 'Easement Test'),
  records that had had the original classification value name
       (e.g. 'Land' records that had had 'Esaement' set
        as the Land Class value)
  now show the new classification value name, even though no
  workflow was run to change the record contents.  Similarly,
  queries that used to show the previous classification value now
  show the new classification value.
  
  If a user tries applying a filter against a field in a
  query that contains a changed classification value, though, it
  will not work if the new classification value is entered.
  Although the query may show the new classification value in
  its output, filtering on that exact classification value name
  does not result in record matches.
  

Local fix

• Filter using the classification value name that was in place
  before the classification value's name was changed.
  

Problem summary

• Classifications are MetaData. If you change one, it is up to
  the application developer or administrator to write a retro
  workflow to update the underlying t_table data so that the
  informaiton is correctly reflected.
  

Problem conclusion

• Record having classification fields will display the changed
  value of the classification record if the publish value is
  changed. Any report which includes those classification fields
  will also display changed value. But any user filter or the
  system filter still works against the old value of
  classification. To have the consistent behavior, it is
  recommended that on change of any classification record publish
  name, have a asyncronous workflow update all the referencing
  record where the classification field is used.
  

Temporary fix
