  RENAME DEFINITION 'User 150' TO 'def3'
  
  Definition 'def1'

   property 'ddd' {edit listof 'def3' asgrid}
  }
  
  Definition 'def2'
  {
   property 'xxx_one' {edit oneof 'def1'}
  }
  
  Definition 'def3'
  {
   property 'xxx_list' {edit listof 'def1'}
  }

  3) Edit the def2 and from Choices add the def1 definition
  4) Edit the def3 and from Choices add the def1 definition

  ****************************************************************
  The def2 and def3 objects in this case are being loaded
  because the def1 object is in edit session so the value of
  their def1 properties are erroneously being overwritten by
  the prior values.
  

Problem conclusion

• The code will check to see if properties have already been
  modified and if they were they should not do not be
  overwritten.
  

Temporary fix
