Symptoms

ACTUAL BEHAVIOR
---------------
Default Distribution Account field nullified at invoice line level when saving the invoice or at invoice validation

Noticed that the value entered into Default Distribution Account field gets wiped out when the invoice is saved or invoice validation is selected from Actions.
In version 12.1.3 the value remains available in this field while it also populates account on distribution level as expected.
In 12.2.8 it still populates distribution level account combination as expected, but as I mentioned above the value is no longer retained on the line level.

Current version having the issue 12.0.983.12020000.176

STEPS
-----------------------
The issue can be reproduced at will with the following steps:
1. Enter a new invoice with all mandatory fields
2. Press on lines tab and enter Amount and Distribution account
3. Save the changes or click on header, then click on lines tab again
4. See that default distribution is disappearing at invoice lines level

or receive error APP-FND-01023 The Following Required Field Does Not Have A Value
