Categories in content rules

Hi,For a particular space I defined 3 content rules, each sticking another category label to the document: one related to the type of document (report), the other to the field of research covered by the content, and finally a status category (draft).

It appears to make no difrerence whether they's inbound or outbound. Only one label is retained. The other two just ignored.

Seems to be a bug.

I have just tested it and verified that you are correct. I have raised a bug you can track:

I noticed that the bug was removed. But now, I get too much category labels (if I'm not careful enough with rules).

I have the following tree:

X
/ \
Y Z

On the top level I defined a rule to link all incoming docs to category A.
When I upload a file into Y, it is rightfully categorized with label "A". When I execute a rule in Y that moves the document from Y to Z, it is again labeled with A.

Is this the expected behaviour? Should I really be more careful in defining my rule and make it conditional: if it is not yet labeled A, then label A"?

Hi,

Yes this is a bug. Being marked with a category more than once doesn't seem right.

I've made the fix, the SVN details are below.

Thanks,
Roy
