PM47911: DOORS: Attribute features remain checked

Rational DOORS Fix Pack 6 (9.3.0.6) for 9.3

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Attribute features that affect change bars, change dates, and
  generate history remain checked in the edit attribute dialog
  even after you uncheck them.
  
  Steps to reproduce:
  1. With a DOORS 9.3.0.4 client, create a new module
  2. In the new module, create a new object attribute
  3. For this new attribute uncheck the 'Attribute features' for
  'Affect change bars', 'Affect change dates', and 'Generate
  history' then click the OK button
  4. Then edit that same attribute again and notice those check
  boxes are still checked
  
  Expected results:
  When you uncheck the options for those attribute features, they
  should remain unchecked
  
  Actual results:
  The attribute features remain checked
  
  Notes:
  With the steps above, if you point a DOORS 9.3.0.3 client to the
  same data, you will notice those check boxes are unchecked as
  they should be. So a workaround is to use a DOORS client version
  prior to 9.3.0.4
  
  This can cause some serious discrepancies. For example, if you
  uncheck those options and modify that attribute for an object
  then the change bars, change dates, and history are not
  effected. But someone may think this is acting incorrectly. They
  may think the change dates, change bars, and history should
  actually be effected since the GUI indicates those options are
  checked.

  features is corrected now.
