Error description
There is a discrepancy in the way the IBM Rational ClearQuest (CQ) for Windows client and the ClearQuest client (Rich Client Platform) (RCP) client process a multiple record update operation when a modification to the record is included in the validation hook of the modify action or the validation hook of a base action. The Windows client seems to consider the operation on the validation hook as part of the modification to be propagated to all records, while the RCP client does not. The result of this is that in the Windows client all the records but the first that was selected get the modification from the validation hook twice, one as the result of their own validation hook and another one as part of the modifications to the first record supposed to be propagated to all the records. In the RCP client the modification generated by the validation hook of the first record is not propagated to the other records.
