Query-based Collection Is Not Updated When the Query Criteria Change (322408)

This article was previously published under Q322408

SYMPTOMS

If you create a collection that is based on an imported query, and then you modify the original query, the collection is not updated as expected.

CAUSE

This issue occurs because, when you create a query-based collection, the queries are imported from existing queries. After the queries are imported, they are treated as separate from the source queries.

WORKAROUND

To work around this issue, re-add the query (that the query-based collection is created from) to the collection. To do so, follow these steps:
  1. Right-click the collection that is based on the changed query, and then click Properties.
  2. Click the Membership Rules tab, and then double-click the rule that is created from the changed query. This opens the Query Rule Properties dialog box.
  3. Click Import Query Statement, and then click the changed query to re-add it.
  4. Click OK three times to close all dialog boxes.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
