Error description
The Attribute features settings shows different behavior when opening a module in Read-only mode and Exclusive Edit mdoe. The issue is not seen when creating attribute manually. However, the issue occurs when using DXL code to create attributes that may or may not be a DXL attribute. Here's some sample code: string dxlCode = 'print \'HI\'' create object type 'String' inherit false //- multi false dxl dxlCode changeBars true //- date true history true attribute 'theDXLAttr' - The code will create an attribute called 'theDXLAttr'. - Close and re-open the module in read-only mode and you'll see that the settings are checked. - Close and re-open the module in Exclusive Edit mode and you'll see that the settings are NOT checked.

Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** UI is inconsistent when showing a DXL attribute in read-only and edit modes.
Problem conclusion
Attribute features are not applicable to DXL attributes, so setting or not setting them has no effect. Toggling the DXL setting (when in edit mode) will always take the current defaults for those attributes. The problem is really just that the dialog shows different things in read-only vs edit modes. Making the read-only mode do the same thing as edit mode (by explicitly clearing the feature checks when DXL is checked) makes the behaviour consistent, and fixes the issue.
