IV96029: 'INHERIT STATUS CHANGE' FLAG IS CHECKED ON SAVE IN WORK ORDER APPLICATION EVEN AFTER DISABLING IT

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Here are the steps followed when recreating the issue in the
  Maximo
  environment. We found this in the 'Work Order Tracking' Core
  application.
  1 - Create a  workorder or choose an existing Maximo  work
  order.
  Ensure the 'Inherit Status Changes?' flag is checked.
  2 - Create another work order and choose the work order in step
  1 as a
  parent work order.
  3 - By default the 'Inherit Status Changes' flag is checked
  before
  save. Disable the flag and save the child work order
  Notice that the 'Inherit Status Changes' flag is again reset
  to checked.
  This behavior can be observed when disabling the flag and trying
  to
  save the work order multiple times. Each time, the flag will be
  enabled/set to 1.
  .
  Additional Comments
  
  found that setting the default to 0 (in the database
  configuration)
  does not prevent the system from enabling the flag on save. Each
  time we
  save the work order, the PARENTCHGSSTATUS flag (Inherit Status
  Changes?) is enabled.
  
  IMPORTANT TO NOTE (Please Read)
  This issue is unique to the Maximo deployment used below.
  (Maximo
  ACM + Maximo (Tr) + Maximo HSE+ Maximo Linear)
