3142 - BUG: Setting RandomSeed StartupInfo value is ignored when attempting to replicate experiment order

Symptoms
While using an experiment that has an enabled RandomSeed parameter with a non-default value, the custom value is not used and results in the default of a auto generated random seed.
The end result is the experiment using values that were not intended for RandomSeed.
This does not affect a RandomSeed parameter that is set to prompt during experiment initialization.
The value used for RandomSeed may be determined by viewing the appropriate labeled columns in the data file.

Workaround
Prompt for this parameter
Edit the .ebs file to specify the values with a c.SetAttrib call.
