Error description
Discussion creation interface is different between DOORS client and DWA. 'Comment' Field is mandatory in DWA, where as in DOORS Client it isn't. If we want to create a new Discussion in DOORS Client, we can either specify the Summary or Comment. i.e. there are no mandatory fields. However, in DWA the Comment Field has been made mandatory. Thus there is a inconsistency in the Discussion creation interface between DOORS client and DWA.
Local fix
Problem summary
This was deliberately coded in DWA, since it uses the same dialog for Discussion creation as it does for adding comments, and was apparently done as the simplest solution.
Problem conclusion
Code altered to match DOORS behaviour.
Temporary fix
There is no workaround for this issue
