Categories in content rules

[omegerard]

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 turns out that only the label imposed by the last content rule is added. Is this a bug? Or did I overlook something? Has anybody noticed the same behaviour?

Regards

Ludo

Maybe I should add here that all rules are defined as "incoming" rules.

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:

Cheers,

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
