IProcessArea.addMember() and IProcessArea.addRoleAssignments abnormal result

Hi.

After I removed all the members in the IProcessArea, I tried to add them back.

So I iterated to add each member back by calling IProcessArea.addMember().

But the result is weird. The roles of member is not empty. Some roles are assigned to this member instead.

Are roles cached somewhere?

When I called IProcessArea.addRoleAssignments(), the result is not like I thought.

I want to add role A to John. But in the end, John has no role.

The history shows John has been assigned A and A has been removed at the same time.

(It's because John has been assigned A since IProcessArea.addMember())

But there is another problem. Why IProcessArea.addRoleAssignments() removed roles from members?

I then use IProcessArea.setRoleAssignments() to solve this problem instead.

Am I misunderstanding the API document?

Thanks!

I do save the process area after I remove the members.

I even tried remove members on the website instead using api.

But the result is the same.

(I used version 4.0.2 API)

website? you mean thru the web UI of your RTC installation?

yes.

The "History" shows only "add member" but not "add role" action.

The process I used:

1. remove members -> Save

2. add members -> Save

3. add roleassignment -> Save
