Dropdown objects are unable to hold values

Vasudeva
Certified Associate Developer

I'm working on the community edition and doing Acme Automobile exercies. While developing 'Add Vehilce' interface, I'm facing this weird problem, the Category and Condition drop downs are not able to hold the values that I select, after selecting the values, the drop down is reloading with default values (place holder '--select a value--') I have double checked the configuration and even compared with the finished solution. Still same issue. the finished version despite having the same configuration, it is working fine.

I'm suspecting the caching issues or build issues.. any suggestions are helpful.

TIA

a!localVariables(
  local!category : rule!AAX_QR_REF_getVehicleCategory(),
  local!condition : rule!AAX_QR_REF_getVehicleCondition(),

    The issue seems to be value and saveinto into rule input of record type. If you want to identify this you can use local variable to save the value and then store in the rule input. By this way we can able to identify the local variable hold the value and rule input does not hold then issue in the rule input of record type.

    Let me also do example and send here for your reference. In the meantime please try my concern.
