testfor @e {Rotation:[0.0f,0.0f]}
entitydata @e {Rotation:[90.0f,0.0f]}
attempt to run these and mess with testing for the rotation of the entity and you will see some strange behaviors...
Sorry I do not post bugs a lot, logging into this site is a pain; ill attempt to post all of them more often
This may be the same case that the powered NBT tag in command blocks had where if you change it the outcome may vary. (Not supported/but it is functioning as intended)
I understand you can testfor rotation in the selector, but was wondering why you can set it to 90, but it not be able to return the test results properly for being at the angle 90.... and if it was supose to represent rotating a specfic amount than why not have it reset to 0 each time, or contain no value at all after the tag is edited (Edit= follow through with rotation then if tested upon you either wouldnt see the rotation or perhaps it would reset to 0)
Again all speculation on to why it is functioning this way... Thank you for the help!

hmm well read the end portion and that should be some elaboration.... It may or may NOT be a bug... may be intended feature...
You can test for a entities rotation inside of a selector and then act upon that data... but when you do the same thing with the NBT tag you get unexpected results (varies.....) like you cannot change it then test for it and expect it to return true...
I try to explain it in my original post....
Example:
I am a Zombie with the Rotation NBT tag set to 90.0f,0.0f and I test for that but it wont return true...
Um but if you edit the NBt anyways regardless of the tests the tests vary, you can get it to work to return true if you mess with it... but please use the two commands I list and watch to see what I mean by either intended features or bug.....
I still don't understand. I just gave a rotation to a creeper, tested for mobs with that rotation and it found the creeper. Once it started moving it didn't find it anymore.
okay so summon an armorstand with NoAI
Then try the rotation tests and you will see it manages to not work
Sorry !
EDIt: lol armorstand noai, haha.... um ignore that lol just armorstand
Please provide detailed steps to reproduce the issue.
/summon ArmorStand ~ ~ ~ {CustomName:"ImaTEST"}
/testfor @e[type=ArmorStand,name=ImaTEST] {Rotation:[0.0f,0.0f]}
/entitydata @e[type=ArmorStand,name=ImaTEST] {Rotation:[90.0f,0.0f]}
/testfor @e[type=ArmorStand,name=ImaTEST] {Rotation:[90.0f,0.0f]}
(given these variable CAN diffee and you get the SAME effect.....)
By can differ I mean Syntactically IE using Rotation[0:0.0f,1:0.0f] instead... etc....
Um just change that rotation value around and you should see what I mean.... hopefully
Edit: Sorry if it doesnt copy paste, please reqrite as I did not write that in game so may have a typo or something.... also it can be written a million dif ways so...
Resolved hehe...?
Everything works as expected. Nowhere in the steps you outlined did things to wrong.
umm.... hmm well It is definantly not resolved... its not even about if it is replicatable or not, it is more of a question as CAN I used the NBT tag for this exact reason as it does not actuall store the value as intended.... sorry if I cannot really explain further, purhaps a video later today im just a bit sick atm...
Um im going to assume its the same thing Searge said regarding the powered NBT tag
Basically Im making flying elevators and such and the convenience of Rotation instead of the selector rotation junk...
Can we unresolve this?
I have a server setup at centural.co if you join Ill give you OP and show you.

I will not join your server. We will not re-open the ticket until you explain your issue (I still don't understand) and provide clear steps to reproduce it - if I can't understand it after a dozen comments, how do you think Mojang will fix it?
The Rotation tag represents an angle, in degrees, not angular velocity. What you're experiencing may be MC-73887, but it's hard to tell, since you haven't provided a description of a bug, or proper reproduction steps. We need three things:
What are the exact steps we should take to observe the bug?
When you perform those steps, what is the result?
What did you expect to happen when you performed those steps?
Unless you can check off those three requirements, then you haven't actually provided us with a useful bug report. If we can't watch it happen, and don't know what to look for, then there's no way to identify the cause or the solution. Everything we've tried works as we expect it to, so either your expectations are wrong, or we're not trying the right things. There's no way for us to tell given the information you've provided.
If you change the Rotation Tag and then testfor if the Rotation has changed it will NOT give you the correct results...
I have the server live now and would be glad to show you...
Ill fix it, lol its not hard to fix or dismiss as an intended features.
Hook up a clock to testfor a specific rotation of an armorstand, give it a few entitydata changes to its Rotation NBT tag and it does not retain its value.. The output varies, but it is very easy to replicate....
I am having another administrator attempt to explain in his works instead.....
The Bug you listed sounds similar yes, looking into it now
Seems like this bug has been out for awhile I supose (It effect mutliple NBT Tag depending on what NBT has been set)
We ran into similar issues while using a combo of levitation, rotation, motion, nogravity which leads to some NBT edit not taking effect...
We will continue to look into it...
@unknown please modify the description to precisely explain what you did and what you expected. In 16w36a all command provided in this comment (replaced with new entity ids) work.
