CIM-16941 The RelationshipData element was intermittently missing from the output document of the GetRecord activity.

CIM-16934 When the parent and child records were deleted and later added through the SaveRecord activity, the relationship was not established between the parent and child records.

CIM-16896 While evaluating attribute conflict, the Record Modify workflow failed in the UpdateRecordState activity.

CIM-16877 When the record was modified to add a new related record, the value of PARENT context variable was not evaluated correctly while executing the relationship rulebase.

CIM-16863 A match and merge work item was created for a three level record hierarchy. In this case, if the Add as New checkbox was selected for the third level record and attributes of the root record were merged, third level records which were accepted as new were not merged into the target record hierarchy.

CIM-16862 If multi-level record hierarchy was merged in the work item, the MergeRecord activity did not generate the OutDocument for Target records. To fix this issue, add the MergeTargetInOutdoc parameter in the MergeRecord activity.

For example:<Parameter direction= in name=MergeTargetInOutdoc type=boolean eval= constant>TRUE</Parameter>

CIM-16842 While modifying a record, if the tab was pressed for a drop-down list, the page was refreshed even though refresh="no" was set for a drop-down list in the rulebase file.
