Rational ClearQuest Fix Pack 05 (8.0.0.5) for 8.0

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• CQ Web 8.0.0.x does not recognize a modified drop down list
  control field if it was originally set via hook
  
  Steps to reproduce
  
  1.)  Add a hook to list control named 'Email_sent' on a CQ
  record that resets the value from Yes to No using
  $entity-?SetFieldValue( 'Email_sent', 'No' );
  
  2.)  Modify the record and change 'Email_sent' to Yes.
  
  3.)  Select a notes field on the record and add some text.
  Email_sent will be reset to No by the hook
  
  4.)  Go back to 'Email_sent' and change it to Yes.
  
  5.)  Commit the record
  
  CQ Web 8.0.0.x does not recognize that Email_sent was set to Yes
  so the e-mail is not sent.  This was not a problem in CQ Web
  7.1.2.x.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• If a drop down list control field was reset via hook and then is
   modified, CQ Web 8.0.0.x can not recognize the modified field
  and treats it as unchanged.  NOTE - This issue only occurs in CQ
   Web 8.0.0.x.
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix is available in ClearQuest 8.0.0.5.
  
  CQ Web now correctly recognizes a modified drop down list
  control field if it was originally set via hook
