• Closed as program error.

Error description

• If you make changes to the JMS Headers settings in a TIBCO EMS
  messaging action the test is not marked as needing to be saved,
  so you cannot save the changes.
  
  If you add a property to the Message Properties section of the
  test action you cannot delete that property.  You can change the
  value but not the name of the property.  If you change the name,
  the original property and the newly-named one will be saved.
  
  STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
  
  1. Configure a Publish action with a TIBCO EMS transport.
  2. Add an entry for Correlation ID in JMS Headers.
  3. Save the test and re-open.
  4. Edit the Correlation ID and click OK.
  
  The test is not marked as needing to be saved.
  Workaround is to also edit an unused field before saving.
  
  1. Configure a Publish action with a TIBCO EMS transport.
  2. Add an entry in Message Properties.
  3. Save the test and re-open.
  4. Delete the property and save.
  
  The property cannot be deleted.  The solution is to start with a
  new test action and configure as required.

  Integration Tester.  The ability to save the action is now
  correctly triggered when just those fields are changed.
