Hi all,

we have noticed a buggy behavior when using program rule actions of type
ASSIGN in scheduled events. The program rule is correctly evaluated, but
the program rule action does not assign the desired value to the
dataelement in that event. This happens only when the event is created
using the visit scheduler. If the event is created using the "Add new
event" button the program rule action works fine.

The steps to reproduce the issue:
1. Create a programRuleVariable of type "DATAELEMENT_CURRENT_EVENT" with
the dataelement we want to copy.
2. Create a programRule limited to that programStage.
3. Assign a programRuleAction of type ASSIGN, with the previously crated
programRuleVariable as the "data" and a dataelement as the target.

I couldn't access demo server to reproduce the issue (it seems that admin
password has been changed), but I did in dev server and created an example
that you can easily verify until it is reset tonight. It is in the program
"WHO RMNCH Tracker", in the stage "Postpartum care visit". I added a new
dataelement called "Copy HIV test result" just below "HIV test result" that
copies its value. You can verify that if the stage is created using the
"Add event button" the value is correctly copied; but it the stage is added
using the visit scheduler, the value is not copied.

If there is doubt please let me know.

Thank you!

Víctor
