Compare the rule with concrete cases
Fictional sentence says “when the linked record changes, rename it”. Record R has title Draft and links to category C named General. The owner’s actual intention is to rename R.title to Final while preserving C.name. The pronoun could otherwise refer to C.
| Interpretation | R.title after | C.name after | Matches intention |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rename record | Final | General | Yes |
| Rename category | Draft | Final | No |
| Rename both | Final | Final | No |
Work through the distinction
State the subject, field and target value instead of requiring the implementer to infer them from grammar. Preserve the category reference as a separate relationship.
Would renaming C alone satisfy the owner’s requirement?
Show the worked answer
No. The required target is R.title. C.name should remain General.
Acceptance wording to adapt
On the stated rename action, set record R’s title to Final. Preserve its category reference C and category C’s name General. Do not interpret the action as renaming C.
