After playing around with some things today in the process of going through the steps needed to renew membership by an individual for an organization I noticed something strange.

If you grant the relationship permission to an Individual to update/edit an Organization that shares it's address with all employees, the individual can update the organizational address fields within the organizations record and it will be reflected throughout the employee records.  If the individual updates their own address fields it will only change it for that individual's record and not within the organizational record.  The problem is that it still keeps the address shared with property while maintaining the new address information.  To me the logic makes sense to be either that those who can update their address record would create a new address entry or rather those with permission to edit the organization from which the address is shared would be where the edits are actually stored.  Not sure about the long term effects it would have by not having logic one way or the other.  If you update the organizational address info after updating the individual address info when the address is a shared one then the org info overwrites the individual's because the shared with is maintained throughout the process.

Thoughts?
