Debi had reported that there's a bug in the Scopus interface which results
in an Urgent log reverting to status of New if it's saved when one of the
required fields is not filled in.
The bug is more pervasive than this particular example.
The TCL code goes like this in lay-man's language:
--------------------------------------------------
If (any required field is not filled in) AND (user chooses "Save")
Then (an error message states that the log cannot be saved)
AND (the status will revert back to its value last saved)
--------------------------------------------------
It doesn't matter what the status was, and it doesn't matter what the user
had changed the status to before choosing Save.
This automated reversion of the status seems rather unnecessary. David and
I have commented-out all the lines of the code (in TCL procedure #130) that
perform this automatic task.
