Cascading Attributes not evaulated until a change is detected?

[DonKrause]

Version: Windchill 11.2

Use Case: Limit the display of Calibration Types to Parts requiring Calibration.

Description:

I've set up two attributes, a boolean "Calibration' and a string "Calibration Type". The default value for "Calibration" is "No".

In the cascading attributes section, I have two rules. If calibration is no, hide calibration type. If calibration is yes, calibration type is required. (There is no "unhide" option).

In the edit page, this works, mostly. If the existing part is without the calibration attribute, it gets set to 'No" and no cal options are display. If I then change from no to yes, the edit page refreshes, and the cal type options appear.

BUT, if the existing part already has calibration set to yes, the initial load of the edit page shows 'Calibration YES" but the cal type is still hidden. Cal type doesn't appear unless the Calibration boolean is changed.

Part has existing "Yes" selected on Calibration Attribute shows:

When it should show:

Cascading attributes config:

I must be missing something.

TIA,

Does it make any difference if you re-order the rules?

Another issue I found is if a calibration type has been picked the value stays set when calibration is set to No.
