Error description

• This is a follow on APAR to PI54006. (NO WARNING GIVEN WHEN A
  MULTI-PROJECT SYNC USES THE INCORRECT TASK)
  
  That APAR fixed one scenario as documented. There are a number
  of other scenarios where multi project sync does not result in a
  warning if the task is associated with a different release. For
  example:
  
  1. Create Collaborative Project P_a with Release R_a/1 (default
  process rules; possibly an existing Build Management Project
  with corresponding Baseline is required in advance)
  2. Create Collaborative Project P_b with Release R_b/1 (default
  process rules; possibly an existing Build Management Project
  with corresponding Baseline is required in advance)
  3. Create Task 1 with Release R_a/1 and add a dummy text file to
  Project P_a, then check in file and close Task 1
  4. Create Task 2 with Release R_b/1 and add a dummy text file to
  Project P_b, then check in file and close Task 2
  5. Create Task 3 with Release R_a/1 and keep it selected as
  "Current Task"
  6. From outside Synergy client, modify both dummy text files
  7. In the "Projects" list, select both projects P_a and P_b as a
  multi-selection (requires expanding the related "Project
  Groupings" if done using the default "My Project Groupings"
  query) and select "Sync Work Area" > "Members and Subprojects"
  8. In the appearing "Work Area Conflicts" view, select at least
  the dummy file from the "wrong" project (i.e. Project P_b), or
  both dummy files together and select "Keep Work Area Changes".
  
  Expected Results:
  
  An onscreen warning should be issued.
  
  
  This APAR should limit itself to this scenario. All Warnings
  that are provided in a single project sync should also be
  provided in a multi project sync.
