Commented Issue: Scheduled Publishing of data items forgets Publish and Unpublish dates upon reopening for edit [2098]

Steps to reproduce:

1. On clean install of C1 v4.3, add the Composite.News package in the System perspective.

2. Modify (or delete) dynamic data form associated with Composite.News package ( ~/App_Data/Composite/DynamicTypeForms/Composite/News/NewsItem.xml ) to add Scheduled Publishing fields to the data item (See: http://docs.composite.net/Data/Scheduled-Publishing#Troubleshooting ).

3. Create a page in the Content perspective and add the news application under it.

4. Add a new news item, setting the "Status" to "Awaiting publication" with a specified "Publish date" one day ahead. Also add an "Unpublish date" a few days further ahead.

5. Save and close the news item.

6. Under the page, expand the News folder tree and double-click the news item that you've just added.

7. You will see that the "Publish date" and "Unpublish date" fields under "Publication settings" are now empty.

This is not the same behaviour as "Publication settings" for pages, where the "Publish date" and "Unpublish date" fields are retained upon reopening the page for editing.

I've not been able to test if the dates are saved and applied on the live site (that the page goes live tomorrow and is removed on the unpublish date), so you'll probably want to investigate this as well.
