Brian,

>I didn’t say anything about auto check rules. What I'm describing is the AutoClearRules and the fact that the rules are being cleared regardless of its setting in certain situations. My 1st post describes when the framework ignores this setting. Since it only clears the rules in certain scenarios I’m assuming that this is a bug.

Sorry, that was a typo on the property name...everything I said was correct:

The AutoClearRules property was specifically designed to determine if rules are cleared before CheckRules() is executed. However, CheckRules() is also called in a few other places:

CancelTableRows()
CancelEntityList()
PreSaveProcessing()
PreSaveEntityListProcessing()
PreSaveEntityProcessing()

It sounds like you want AutoClearRules to also apply in the “Save” methods…is that right?

If you look the documentation for AutoClearRules it specifically says:

// Specifies if broken rule and warning collections are cleared
// before running CheckRules

We *could* change it so rules are never automatically cleared at the Framework level...I'm afraid we may wreak havoc on someone's code who is expecting it to behave as advertised--pondering...

Best Regards,
