Multiple values are displayed for alias attribute when soft type of another one object type.

[schen-7]

• Multiple values are displayed for alias attribute when soft type of one object type is aliased on a soft type of different type for instance map a document soft alias attribute with a Part soft attribute through name, then iterate the part, the alias attribute value in document is displayed multiple times based on number of iterations

For example: two document subtypes. They are using WTDocumentDependencyLink relationship. The mapping format is like this : 

describes@wt.doc.WTDocumentDependencyLink~describedBy^com.ptc.layoutrequest~division

Then check out/check in layoutrequest subtype object then alias attribute will show all iteration object's IBA value splited by comma. 

Customer hope it can just show the latest iteration object's IBA value.

Duplication of strings lead to multiple problems down the line. 

1. Lot of formatting logic needs to be implemented if same needs to be displayed in Reports.

2. Failure in persisting these valued due to size limit for DB column.

3. Retrieving these values in JVM results in memory consumption that is not ideal.
