Changes are not committed when the Commit() method is called in SharePoint Server 2007 or in SharePoint Portal Server 2003

Consider the following scenario. You create two lists in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 or in Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server 2003. You create and register a new feature. Additionally, you create a new list item and then trap the event. In the event handler, you perform a get on the target list property. Then, you call the following method.In this scenario, if only the ChoiceList property is modified, the changes are not committed when the Commit() method is called.

This problem occurs if the following conditions are true:

• The target list does not contain the new item.
• The in-memory list does not persist.

To work around this problem, modify another property that is not a ChoiceList property. Then, call the Commit() method. The changes to the ChoiceList property will be committed.

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.
