New to Appian, issue with value not saving to cloud database

Working on my first appian app, trying to figure out why one form field value from an interface is being written to the database, but others aren't. Just working with two fields for debugging purposes. The dropdown value is saved, but the value of the second field (the text field) is not being saved. I am not getting any error message running the process model.... Any ideas?

a!dropdownField(
label: "What best describes your role?",
labelPosition: "ABOVE",
placeholderLabel: "--- Select a Value ---",
choiceLabels: {"Meeting Owner – Sales GM",
"Meeting Owner – Sales Specialty",
"Meeting Owner – Medical Field",
"Meeting Owner – Medical Head Office",
"Meeting Owner – Market Access",
"Meeting Coordinator – GM Marketing Head Office",
"Meeting Coordinator – Specialty Marketing Head Office",
"Meeting Coordinator – Medical Head Office",
"Meeting Coordinator – EMO",
"Meeting Coordinator – Market Access",
"Meeting Approvers – GM Sales Management",
"Meeting Approvers – Specialty Sales Management",
"Meeting Approver – Medical Management",
"Meeting Approver – Market Access",
"Other (Specify below)"
},
choiceValues: {"Meeting Owner – Sales GM",
"Meeting Owner – Sales Specialty",
"Meeting Owner – Medical Field",
"Meeting Owner – Medical Head Office",
"Meeting Owner – Market Access",
"Meeting Coordinator – GM Marketing Head Office",
"Meeting Coordinator – Specialty Marketing Head Office",
"Meeting Coordinator – Medical Head Office",
"Meeting Coordinator – EMO",
"Meeting Coordinator – Market Access",
"Meeting Approvers – GM Sales Management",
"Meeting Approvers – Specialty Sales Management",
"Meeting Approver – Medical Management",
"Meeting Approver – Market Access",
"Other (Specify below)"
},

),
a!textField(
label: "If you indicated ""Other"" above, please specify role",
labelPosition: "ABOVE",
value: ri!SurveyResponse.RoleOther,
saveInto: ri!SurveyResponse.RoleOther,
showwhen: ri!SurveyResponse.Role = "Other (Specify below)",
