Does MultiStart take constraints into account when generating trial points?

I know MultiStart will generate trial points that fall into their respective lower and upper bounds, but do they follow equalities (or inequalities) that are specified?
For example:
I have 6 variables that need to be optimized together. Each variable has a lower bound of 0 and an upper bound of 1. The sum of these variables is 1 (my equality equation).
Is this equality constraint taken into account when generating trial points?
Thank you.

No. It takes into account lower bounds and upper bounds.
Notice this StartPointsToRun option
Start points to run, specified as:
The default is 'all'
