Tasks notes exponentially multiply when saving a project back from Open Workbench or MSP on Oracle environments. Once the tasks notes have increased to a large number, OWB is no longer able to open the affected projects.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Login to a Clarity environment using a Oracle database
2. Create a project
3. Create a task on the project
4. Export the project to OWB or MSP
5. In OWB or MSP, add 1 note on the task
6. Save the project back to Clarity. Verify that there is still only 1 note on the task in Clarity
7. Export the project to OWB or MSP. Verify that there is still only 1 note on the task in OWB or MSP
8. Save the project back to Clarity
9. In Clarity, check the number of notes on the task.
Expected Result: There is still only 1 note on the task
Actual Result: There are 2 notes on the task. The notes will exponentially multiple every time the project is opened in OWB or MSP and saved back from here on out. The 1 note will go to 2 notes then to 4... At some point when the notes increase to a very large number, this will cause OWB or MSP to no longer be able to open the project.
Notes:
This issue also occurs for task notes created in Clarity.
This issue is not reproducible when using an Postgres database.
