Local fix

• Update the CoachDesigner.xls associated with the coach and add
  Quotes around the 'var dateVal = new Date()' parameter.
  
  e.g.
  From :
  var dateVal = new Date(</xsl:text><xsl:call-template name="
  getDateTimeBindingValue"> Page 45 of 52
  <xsl:with-param name="dateTimeFormat"><xsl:text>yyyy, MM-1,
  dd</xsl:
  text></xsl:with-param>
  </xsl:call-template><xsl:text>);
  
  
  to :
  var dateVal = new Date("</xsl:text><xsl:call-template name="
  getDateTimeBindingValue"> Page 45 of 52
  <xsl:with-param name="dateTimeFormat"><xsl:text>yyyy, MM-1,
  dd</xsl:
  text></xsl:with-param>
  </xsl:call-template><xsl:text>");
  

Problem summary

• A fix will be included in an IBM BPM V8.5.6.0 cumulative fix
  that allows the Date picker to display.
