[Rt-devel] Bug: ObjectCustomFieldValues.Content not being updated

[Joby Walker]

This is design feature.  There is no code keep ObjectCustomFieldValues
in sync with the current CustomFieldValues.  This allows you to retire
old CustomFieldValues without impacting Tickets.  This is necessary for us.

I do see the value of on modifying a specific CFV changing the
corresponding OCFVs though.
