CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I'm using the Drupal CivicRM demo site and am experimenting with memberships that are inherited based on the membership type's relationship type. I found a case where the membership was not inherited as I expected and am wondering if a) my expectations are wrong b) the demo is wrong c) there is a bug or d) something else is going on.

Here's an example.

1) I create a household contact, HH.
2) I add an individual, Joe, to HH
3) I set up membership in my organization for HH
4) Joe inherits the membership as expected
5) I add Sue to HH. Sue does not inherit the membership. I expected she would.
6) I check Sue's relationship and it is correct. She is a member of HH
7) I save Sue's relationship without changing any data. Now Sue inherits the membership.

I recreated similar behavior with an organization/employer of membership relationship.

Thoughts?
