bpm.8570.cf2016.12.delta.repository
Downloading IBM Business Process Manager V8.5.7 Cumulative Fix 2016.12

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• If you drop a coach view onto the palette that includes a date
  config option, but you do not visit the configuration property
  page before saving, no default value is set in the model for the
  config options. However if the configuration property page is
  just viewed and then saved, the default value is set and will
  display at run time. If a coach authoring user later decides to
  change a property, on the General tab for example, and then
  saves this change, the default value is set for the date config
  option and that value displays at run time.
