Curious. So 'remove' contains the environment variables set from the 'add' event? What about the 'change' event? I would have thought the same rule applies to this one, but experience shows that 'change' events have to generate the same environment variables as the 'add' event. Otherwise unexpected results happen ... So why are the environment variables / db entries not merged into the 'change' environment?
