Issue/Introduction

Error Message :
N/A

When setting an attribute in an object via the PUT_ATT script command, using GET_ATT would not properly set the correct value.

Investigation

For an example of this behavior:

Workflow has Queue "CLIENT_QUEUE", Script has queue "CHILD_QUEUE", 

1) Workflow Script: 

:PUT_ATT CHILD_QUEUE = GET_ATT(QUEUE) 
==> Script runs in "CHILD_QUEUE" 

2) Workflow Script: 

:PUT_ATT CHILD_QUEUE = "CLIENT_QUEUE" 
==> Script runs in "CLIENT_QUEUE"

The behavior in example 1 has been resolved.
