Symptoms

Actual Behavior
Function-Generated Description does not work when updating Attributes for existing Items.
(Some customers have noticed this when an ICC has different attribute groups which contain UDAs with the same name).

Expected Behavior
Description Generation Function works correctly.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a attribute group AG_A (UDA:UDA_CHAR_10)
2. Copy AG_A and create a attribute group AG_B (UDA:UDA_CHAR_10).
   These attribute groups have a UDA with the same name.
3. Create an Item Catalog Category (ICC) with AG_A and AG_B.
4. Create a Item Page with AG_A and AG_B.
5. Define Description Generation Item Description  : Function Generated
   Function          : XXPE_DESC (set Item Description from Parameter)

   Mappings for Function
     Attribute Group | Attribute   | Parameter
     ---------------------------------------------------
     AG_A            | UDA_CHAR_10 | parameter1

    
6. Create an Item Description Attributes
     UDA_CHAR_10 : ABC
   
   ==>Item Description : ABC Description Generation Function works correctly.
   
   
7. Click Item Page AG_A.UDA_CHAR_10 : ABC
   AG_B.UDA_CHAR_10 : (null)  
8. Update Description Attributes from "ABC" to "123"  AG_A.UDA_CHAR_10 : ABC ==> 123
   AG_B.UDA_CHAR_10 : (null)

   ==>Item Description : ABC

   Description Generation Function does not change the Description value...
