To reproduce the issue perform the following steps:

1. Manage -> Assets -> Manage Configuration Items -> Datacenter Types -> Services -> Create 2 x services.

2. Associate multiple CIs with each service.

3. Select 2 x created services -> right click -> bulk edit both services and select a CI to associate with them that isn't already associated.

4. Edit the services individually. All the CIs that were originally associated will have been removed.

Expected result: We should keep previously assigned CI associations and append new associations created via Bulk edit to avoid data loss.
