[rules-users] Bug in "not" ???

[Tom.E.Murphy at wellsfargo.com]

Actually, in the light of day, I see why it behaved as it did. It doesn't seem to be caused by the AccountHolder as such, but more the Employment object - if there are two of them, one with an accountholder and BusinessName that met the criteria, and one without, then the rule will fire whether the not is used or not, just on different instances of Employment.

Thanks for triggering the thought process, Miguel.

This is not entirely true: you may have different objects in memory in such a way that both fires rule. In this case, if you had two (or more!) AccountHolders for the same Employment, each of those having different BusinessName's associated, both rules (with and without the 'not') would fire.

Does that make sense?

The following rule fires both when the "not" is there, and also if the "not" is commented out. Clearly, both cannot be true, so there is something wrong somewhere.
