Single-Record Projections Updates not working as the release notes state.

The release notes state that the single projection update ability is for projection codes OR phase/cost type.  But, when you click calculate after highlighting the phase/cost type, all of the phase/cost type update, along with the projection code.

Steps to reproduce

Enter a date and project
Find or create a Projection Code with multiple Phases/Cost Types
Run a Projection with Plugged Values and process.

Go back into the PM Cost Projection
Enter the same project
Highlight a plugged value phase/cost type
select the calculate button
change to Always Calculate
and process

Current results

All of the phases/cost types become un-plugged and have recalculated.  The projection code has also re-calculated.

Expected results

The release notes state that the Phase/Cost Type can be calculated on a single-record.

    This would be used in conjunction for clearing the plugged value for the Phase code. It is not uncommon to have over 300 Phase Codes and as many as 50 plugged values on our Jobs. If a Project Manager wants to remove the plugged value and recalculate a single Phase code, they have to clear all plugs, recalculate the cost projection, add the other plugs back into the projection, and recalculate.

    To keep track of the plugs, our PMs are adding them to the notes . This is adding a lot of time to the creation of a cost projection.
