I don't really understand the question and I also don't understand the background.

Given that, guessing, best I can say is: As far as I know you can't archive a Start Date. You can archive an iteration. If the iteration is archived it is flagged as such. This does not mean it is deleted, this only means it is not shown in user dialogs any longer. So the values are still there.

 Dear Ralph, As I have understood from previous readings, the scrum template does not use the StartDate attribute anymore, and has kept it in the default attributes but archived it (cannot be used). My question is: In the roadmap plan view, the tasks start at a certain date, and end on another. Where does the plan get the values for these dates? (I created a custom start date timestamp, but it surely does not follow it, neither does the due date) Thank you in advance, Georges

You have misunderstood certain things and you are mixing concepts for others. Read https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Deployment/RTCProcessFundamentals to understand the basic concepts. The iteration plans in scrum have never read a work item attribute to figure the start and end of an iteration. They get the start and end dates for an iteration from the timeline and its iterations. The plan uses the order to predict when an item is going to be started and the estimated effort on all the work items for how long one would work on them given the allocation to the team.
