[Unity-idm-discuss] strange behaviour setting maximum number of values for an attribute

[Sander A. <sa....@fz...>]

Dear Kryzsztof,
dear Roman,

TL;DR: max number of values is always 1 or unlimited.

we found some strange behaviour when limiting the maximum numbers of
value other to one. We created an attribute with type string and set
min number of values to 1, max number of values to 5. We created 4
attribute statements which fill this attribute with values. Viewing
this attribute of an user, which should contain two values, it contains
only one value. Disabling the attribute statement of the shown values,
makes appearing the second expected value. After enabling the first
attribute statement, makes the first value appearing, the second is
gone. After setting the number of values to unlimited in the Attribute
types, both expected values appears. It seems unity ignores the number
of max values but checks only if it is set to unlimited. We found this
issue on unity 4.1.1.

Best regards,
Sander
