When you do a manifest import that updates existing products, if the product has modified attributes, those attributes should be copied onto all pools of all orgs that reference that product as their toplevel product (and then any related entitlements need to be regenerated)
Fixed in candlepin master, 0ceb1369 Will be in candlepin 0.7.13
Hi all, Please provide the verification steps to complete the testing. thanks
I think it's safe to assume this cannot be QE tested. The steps to reproduce would involve creating custom products and subscriptions in two orgs each using the same custom product, generating manifests for each org, importing each on same candlepin downstream, going back upstream and then changing the attributes on the custom product, generating a new manifest in either org, importing it again downstream, and verifying that the changed attributes are applied to both orgs downstream, not just the one that did the import. James' actual code went in commit 18f3dd2dd5b62c97bded834efe7dcd8c1f8db965, and looks to contain very good test coverage.
Verified by developers.
