Error description
In some cases selecting value in Coach dependent dropdown doesn't lead to change of the value of binded variable, so other widgets that are binded to the same var are not updated with selected value. This is a bug in the controls/bindings area. The coach framework is not sending events when it should be.

Problem summary
The coach view that has unresolvable data binding remains "dead" forever even if the data binding turns to be resolvable later. USER AFFECTED: Business Process Manager Advanced, Standard and Express user who has complex object as variable, some coach view binds to the property of complex object, the complex object itself may turn to null. PROBLEM DETAILED DESCRIPTION:This is complicated scenario, here is an example to describe the details: -Select control "Child" has "object.object.child" as the value of "Selected Item" configuration option. -Text control "value" binds to "object.object.child.value". -When Select control "Child" receives its new list through Ajax service as the result of Selection change in Select control "Parent", Select control "Child" sets its selectedItem to null. Namely, the object represented by "object.object.child" becomes null. -Then, "object.object.child.value" is not resolvable. As the result, coach framework isolates Text control "value". -When user makes selection in Select control "Child", the object represented by "object.object.child" gets its value. However, the isolated Text control (the one binds to "object.object.child.value") is never woke up to update itself. Solution: Try to rescue the coach view instances that has a meaningful binding string but no binding object (failed to resolve the binding previously) when there is a proper chance.
Problem conclusion
