Issue/Introduction

Project XOG update fails with java.lang.StackOverflow exception Error.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. create subobject on project, say ks_sub_2 

2. create 2 instances of ks_sub_2 for a project instance 

3. create 1 lookup, dynamic query, object = ks_sub_2, with id (hidden key) / code (display) attributes, called ks_sub_2_lkup 

4. add attribute to project object called ks_sub_link of type lookup, ks_sub_2_lkup 

5. edit the project instance, set the lookup attribute to the 1st ks_sub_2 instance 

6. create a process with project as primary object 

7. (this step may be optional, still tbd) add linked secondary object ks_sub_2 

8. set autostart conditions to update with condition ks_sub_2 (NOT ks_sub_link) and field ID, constant value = 12345 

9. transition start to finish step, validate all and activate, grant admin Start and Autostart instance permissions 

10. create another process with ks_sub_2 as primary object 

11. add linked secondary object Parent (project) 

12. set autostart conditions to update with condition 1==0 

13. transition start to finish step, validate all and activate, grant admin Start and Autostart instance permissions 

14. XOG read the project instance out 

15. edit the ks_sub_link attribute in the XOG out to the other subobject instance value 

16. XOG write the project instance back in

Expected Result: updated 1 records successfully, 0 processes start, performance is nominal

Actual Result: 0 records update due to stackoverflow exception error, 0 processes start, performance is impacted
