Renovate fails to update maven property version in multi-module maven project

[jamesmmchugh]

What Renovate type are you using?
N/A

Describe the bug
GIVEN: If you have a multi-module maven project, where the parent (or any module that is higher in the dependency tree) module defines the artefact version as a property but doesn't use the property itself, and the downstream module inherits the property and uses it.
THEN: Renovate doesn't update the dependencies in the downstream module.

Did you see anything helpful in debug logs?
N/A

Expected behavior
Renovate should update the property in the parent/upstream module.

Screenshots

@zharinov I thought we handled this case already?

[zharinov]

Yes, it should handle it, so most probably there is a bug

[rarkins]

In that case let’s wait for a reproduction or more details, if we already have known working cases too

@jamesmmchugh can you provide any more details?
