Error description

• n RIT, when we 'overwrite expected message', the caching
  involved in
  the background is lost ,say a value A is stored in a variable in
  step 1
  and the same variable is called in next step 2 using a tag. This
  means
  that declaration of a variable part is lost,due to which test
  cases
  fail.
  
  Steps to reproduce :
  
  Open the project WellsFargoTags
  Open the test case Add2then3then4
  Run the test case , it will  pass
  Now in the console , click on first Recieve Reply message
  Click on Overwrite Expected message option
  Save on closure
  Rerun the test , it fails as the tag "Result" is removed from
  the reply message
  Recreate  tag by quick tagging the  "Result" field it will  pass
  again
  Note that "Overwrite expected Field does not cause this issue"
