3. Click on the "Project" link. Click on "Actions" tab. Click on "New"
4. Provide:
 a. Action Name
 b. Action ID
 c. Type = "Job"
 d. Select Job = "Update Earned Value and Cost Totals"
 c. Alert users before running the jobs = "No"
 d. Scope = "Instance-Specific"
 e. Attribute Mapping:
  i. Investment:
   "Default Values" = Select any investment
   "Object Attribute Overrides" = "Object Internal ID"
  ii. For all other parameters, change "Object Attribute Overrides" to "[--Select--]"
5. Save and Return
6. Click on "Views"
7. Click on "[Actions Menu]" against View = "Project Properties". Click on "General". Move Action created in Step 4 from "Available Actions" to "Selected Actions"
8. Click on "[Actions Menu]" against View = "Project List". Click on "General". Move Action created in Step 4 from "Available Actions" to "Selected Actions"

9. Navigate to Home -> Project Management -> Projects
10. Select any project record (i.e. List View). Hover over "Actions" menu. Click on the action from step 4
11. Click on the same project record used in the previous step(i.e. navigate to the properties page). Hover over "Actions" menu. Click on the action from step 4

12. Navigate to Home -> Personal -> Reports and Jobs. Click on "Jobs". Click on "Log". Filter for "Job Type" = "Update Earned Value and Cost Totals"
13. Sort by "Run ID". Open the latest record. Note the value against "Investment" field in "Parameters" section
14. Open the latest but one record (Triggered through step 11). Note the value against "Investment" field in "Parameters" section

Expected Results: Value against "Investment" in step 14 and step 13 are the same.
