32       * A lookup on an attribute may cause many attribute values to be updated upon return from lookup.  Generally,
33       * the returned attributes are the PK of the BO being looked up.  For example,
34       * a lookup on an account number attribute will cause the chart of accounts code and account code to be returned.
35       *
36       * These returned attributes may cause other references on the page to be returned.  For example, an account number lookup
37       * may cause the chart code to change, and if there is also an ObjectCode reference in the BO, then any change in the chart code will cause the
38       * referenced ObjectCode BO to be changed.
