3649040 - How to trigger MDF Business Rules for multiple records

Symptom

Custom validation rules defined for custom objects are not consistently triggered during workflow approval processes. In some workflow approval steps, records that should fail validation are successfully submitted or approved without any validation errors. There is no error message or indication that the validation rule has been bypassed.
The issue is observed only for the second entry and on - the first workflow entry works as expected.
You want to execute business rules for all records in the parent object and its composite child object, or you want to execute business rules only for records that were added or updated in the parent object or in the composite child object.
