Using restart option i RDI does not reset sourceline date column - it becomes the date for the last time you started RDI.

As the Headline says. Source line date does default to todays date after restart, it keeps the date from the last time RDI was closed all the way down and up again.


Use Case:

Arrive work in the morning and unlock your computer (which you didn't turn off the day before). Your RDI is still running from the day before, but your connections are timed out- so you go to FILE -> RESTART and continue working. When adding new source lines it will now be with yesterdays date.

    We have reviewed this requirement and we feel it would be a beneficial enhancement to the product. We hope to be able to add it to our development plans in the future.

    Although the theme of this request is consistent with our business strategy, it is not committed to the release that is currently under development.
