Local fix

Problem summary

• In the previous version of DOORS (e.g. v8.3), you could reset
  the attribute Type-Date value to the default which as blank. In
  DOORS 9.2 appears to clear the value, but when you click "Ok" it
  reappears and does not change back to "blank". Hence, the issue
  is with DOORS 9.2.
  
  How to reproduce:
  
  1. Created a project
  2. Created two formal modules (Mod A and Mod B) with two objects
  in each module.
  3. Created a new link module with many-to-many mapping.
  4. Created a new linkset with the Mod A as the source and Mod B
  as target.
  5. In the link module, go to Edit->Attributes->New.  Create a
  new attribute called Pass Date for Objects that is Type=Date.
  6. Create links from the Mod A to Mod B module going through the
  Link Module created in Step 3.
  7. Right click on an object that has a link.  Click on the Links
  tab.  Select the link and click Details.
  8. Double click on the Pass Date attribute.  Select Change date.
  Enter a value, Click OK.
  9. Right click on an object that has a link that you added a
  Pass Date to.  Click on the Links tab.  Select the link and
  click Details.
  10. Double click on the Pass Date attribute.  Select Reset to
  Default.  The date goes away.
  11. Click OK.  The Pass Date reappears in the attribute.
  12. In the link module find the 2 intersecting requirements.
  Right click on the link and select Edit Link.
  
  With DOORS 8.3, the Pass Date attribute value changes back to
  the Default (blank) but with DOORS 9.2, it doesn't.
  

Problem conclusion

• This APAR PM04842 has now been fixed in Rational DOORS 9.2.0.3.
