PI08792: Proposals Module displays proposed value as Default value of attributes even if no proposal is raised for that attribute

Rational DOORS and Rational DOORS Web Access 9.6
Rational DOORS and DOORS Web Access Fix Pack 1 (9.6.0.1) for 9.6

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Current behavior: For attributes which has default values
  proposal module shows up default value as proposed value
  although user has not specified any proposal for that attribute.
  
  Steps to reproduce:
  ===============
  1? Create a Module in DOORS and create custom attribute with
  some default value. Lets say, create a Text based attribute
  named 'Is Urgent' and let it have a default value of 'Yes'. For
  one of the Objects say Object ID # 1 in the Module, you can
  change the value of the 'Is Urgent' attribute from 'Yes' to
  'No'.
  
  2? Create a DOORS Change Proposal System and include the above
  mentioned Module and Custom attribute in it.
  
  3? Submit a CP on any Object for any other attribute other than
  the default valued attribute. In our example, lets propose a CP
  on Object ID # 1 and propose to modify the Object Heading to
  some value.
  
  4? Once the proposal has been changed, open the corresponding
  Proposals Module and insert a column for 'Proposed Is Urgent'.
  You would notice that the default value of 'Yes' for the 'Is
  Urgent' attribute is added in the column. i.e. even though there
  was no proposal raised to change any value corresponding to the
  'Is Urgent' attribute, the proposals Module still shows as if
  its been proposed to change the value of that attribute to its
  default value.
