Business Organization Relationship updates may process when the required relationship fields are empty

When processing profile update transactions within The Raiser's Edge, updates containing business organization relationships may process without having all required fields answered. The required fields that may not have values are relationship and reciprocal relationship. 

The update may process without warning the user of the required fields that are missing values.

This issue was evaluated by our Product Development team, and the decision has been made to leave the functionality as it exists. After careful consideration to the low impact to the NetCommunity system, and the availability of an alternative solution, we have determined that this issue will not be addressed currently in the Blackbaud NetCommunity software.

Alternative Solution:
Check the relationships after the transaction has been processed, and update manually as needed.
