Issue/Introduction

Error Message :
N/A

After running DB change against a transport file and loading it, default values of Promptsets within the task's properties are lost.

Investigation

• PRPT.ORI.TEST contains a text field - left blank in the original object
• JOBP.ORI.CHILD uses PRPT.ORI.TEST
• JOBP.ORI.CHILD is nested in JOBP.ORI.PARENT
• Within the properties of JOBP.ORI.CHILD inside of JOBP.ORI.PARENT > Promptset and Variable tabs, content of text field is set to 'TEST'
• Then the objects are exported with Transport case + DB Unload and modified with the script below:

REPLACE_PART *, *, TASK_NAME, '.ORI.', '.DEST.'
REPLACE_PART *, *, OBJECT_NAME, '.ORI.', '.DEST.'
REPLACE_PART *, *, OBJECT_USE, '.ORI.', '.DEST.'

• After loading the modified transport file the text field is empty.
