JR41619: Invalid values in Date field when using tabs in a coach

Version 8.0 Refresh Pack 1 for the IBM Business Process Manager products

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The issue is tabbing through a" date selector" field that is
  bound to a date object. When you tab to it instead of clicking
  into it, and then tab to continue on w/o entering any dates or
  selecting a field, it tries to parse/bind an invalid value to
  the that field. When you click a button to get off the coach,
  you get the error.
