When doing a query on a connected system, a token-query for a specific string concatenates the attribute value with the association of the queried object

Environment

Identity Manager 4.8.x
Identity Manager 4.9
 

Situation

When doing a query through policy, the token-query for a specific string concatenates the attribute value with the association of the queried object. The expected behavior would be that it only returns the attribute value.

    The short version of this, is that someone used the Query token and put the result in a String variable, which concats all the text() elements together.  So you get association and the value of the query result. 

    This is working as expected, which is to say, that is the wrong way to use the token. 

    Not sure this was really a needed TID.  You could document all the WRONG ways to use the product I suppose if you wanted. Not sure you should.
