Multiple workflow events occur when you programmatically run an Update event or an Assign event in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 3.0

When you programmatically run an Update event or an Assign event in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 3.0, multiple workflow events occur. When this problem occurs, Microsoft Dynamics CRM 3.0 creates many notes or many activities for the single event.

This problem occurs because the workflow process incorrectly calls the p_CascadeAssignForEntity procedure.

This problem was corrected in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 3.0 Update Rollup 3.
