XOG Middle Name Column Updates CMN_SEC_USERS But Not SRM_RESOURCES

Products

• Clarity PPM SaaS

Issue/Introduction

There exists a write XML from unknown origin, which inserts/updates a login (Administration > Resources) user's middle name field, but not the (Home > Resource Management > Resource ) middle name field.

Steps To Reproduce
1. Use a  XOG write XML to update the middle name for an example resource.
2. Ensure the middle name field is present and assigned a value.
3. XOG using the XML file as input.

Actual: 
CMN_SEC_USERS.middlename is populated. 
SRM_RESOURCES.middlename is not populated.

Expected:
Both should be populated.

In reviewing/testing XOG files:
rsm_resources_read.xml  
rsm_resources_write.xml
cmn_users_read.xml  
cmn_users_write.xml

There is not a middle name field in the <PersonalInformation section of either OOTB/stock file, i.e. 
the middlename is not available in the write XML file.
