When using MDM 7.1 SP00/SP01, after making changes to the tuple field for a specific
record, The permanent ids within the change history table are populated
inconsistently. This results in the tuple changes not being found when searching utilizing the
main table record permanent id. This also occurs when working with the MDM Change tracker in the Portal in conjunction with a
Result Set iView, i.e. The change tracking log entries for the selected record will not display the tuples that changed
Other terms

Change tracker, MDM, Portal, iView, Web UI
Reason and Prerequisites

The issue occurred due to a limitation of how tuple changes were
recorded in the change tracking table (it did not save the change with
the Main table record permanent ID).
Solution

Changes to tuple values and tuple member fields may only be found by selecting the tuple table in the “Table” dropdown of the Change Tracker.
This limitation was removed in MDM 7.1 SP02.
