Jira (PUP-4856) Overriding resource attributes doesn't work through the ENC

[Thomas Hallgren (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Thomas Hallgren commented on PUP-4856   Re: Overriding resource attributes doesn't work through the ENC The problem is that the override occurs after the overridden resource has been evaluated. This means that the although the overridden resource is adjusted, it is not re-evaluated, and if it then contains defined types that creates new resources, such resources are unaffected by the override. Given the above example, the catalog contains: Defined_type_test{ foo : value = "Overridden message" } Notify { message_foo : message = "Original message" } which is consistent with the error report. Swap the Defined_type_test for, say a File, works OK. The difference is that the File does not need re-evaluation since it doesn't instantiate other resources. I'm uncertain how to tackle this. Fixing the override to do partial re-evaluation seems risky and I'm not even sure it would work. It would be far better if the actual evaluation is deferred until all overrides have been made (this is what the current PR does).
