Abstract
Setting profile tag multiplicity to anything other than '1' in IBM Rational Rhapsody breaks local/global tag values relationship, resulting in one global value for each tag. No local values are created.

This issue has been identified as a product defect and has been logged under APAR id: PM64769
This APAR was discovered in Rhapsody 7.6.1 and 7.6.1.1 that can lead to tag corruption when using multiplicity values.
Scenario:
- Add profile
- Add tag to profile.
- Set profile to 'Applicable to' - Class
- 'Multiplicity' to any value other than 1.
- Add a class to default package
- Open class features and select Tags tab.
- Add tag values via '...' button, for example: 'test1' and 'test2'.
Normally this would create a local copy of the profile tag at the class level. However, in 7.6.1 and 7.6.1.1 it does not create a local tag and the profile tag is changed.
Reloading of the profile restores the global tags and removes the incorrect local changes.
A test fix is also available upon request.
