3601586 - Rule Context is not being respected - Employee Central

Even after limiting Business Rules to trigger in specific contexts, they're being triggered in all of them.

For example: despite being set to trigger in "Onboarding" context only, the rule is getting triggered during the update of the Line Manager in Position.

1. Navigate to Manage Business Configuration;
2. Open the HRIS Element the rule is assigned to;
3. Click on Take Action > Make a Correction;
4. Click on Details in the right side of the Business Rule;
5. Under Rule Contexts, limit some of them (e.g. keep only Onboarding enabled);
6. Navigate to Manage Positions > Open a Position;
7. Click on Take Action > Make a Correction os insert a new record;
8. Observe the Business Rule has been triggered either way.

Expected behavior.

Rule Contexts that are not listed in Manage Business Configuration are not supported and will trigger all Business Rules. In this example, there's no specific context for changes made in Manage Positions / Position Org Chart therefore Rule Contexts will not be considered.
