Promptset Object empty after 'Discard & Close' after error message

Issue/Introduction

 

In case an error message is shown when trying to save a Promptset, the Promptset object will be empty even if 'Discard&Close' is chosen on closure of the object.

 

Steps to reproduce (incl. expected/documented vs. actual behavior)

• create a new Promptset object
• add any element to the prompset
• save, close and open again to proof that saving the object sis workaround
• create a Text-Field and enter '[^[A-Z]]+' into the Regular Expression field
• save
• an error message will show up:
  Laufzeitfehler in Objekt 'FRAGMENT_PROMPTSETXUI(SET)', Zeile '00018': DS-Rückgabewert: '0001001908': 'U01001908 Zeile '1': Attribut ''regex'' : Schließendes Anführungszeichen erwartet', Fehlerposition in UCDSFUN: 'DS_CDATA2XML4'.
• close the promtptset-object - on check-back choose 'Discard & Save'
• open the promptset
  ==> The entire promptset is empty. Expectation would be that, at least, the previous content is there
