When you attempted the scenario with this rule, could you describe the behavior?

@sreeram : When I tried with above code ,i was not able to achieve to get the right owner incase when I am requesting with two different application entitlement having two different owners. I know I have hardcoded the owner value but incase also I dynamically set the owner then also it was not achievable.

@srikantdeloitte You can use one with example rule as this rule is not complete rule.
