"Is Active" component parameter disables itself

[Radioface]

I'm using EA integrated with ClearCase (version control tool) and I'm finding that the "Is Active" option on my components un-checks itself when I perform a ClearCase check-in and submit the updates to source control.  Initially, it appears fine until I do a "package control > get latest" or when someone else views the diagram.

Furthermore, when I choose "package control > compare with controlled version", there doesn't even seem to be a field for "Is Active".  There are entries for "Is Leaf", "Is Spec" and "IsRoot" but nothing for active.

Has anyone else experienced this?  It kind of looks like an EA bug...

Oh, and I'm using EA v8.0.864

Hmm, sounds like they(Sparx) forgot to include the feature in the xmi export.
Can you do a test to confirm this?
If this is the case it is a high priority bug and should be reported to Sparx ASAP.

Yes, you appear to be correct.  I updated the component again so that "Is Active" was checked and did another comparison.  I could then do "Log to XML..." and saw that there was no entry for "Is Active".  A snippet of code is shown below.  I will now submit a post to the "bug" forum.
