Text input disappears when clicking elsewhere

Question

Hello, 
 
 I created a Interface with a wizard including some text boxes, drop downs and radio buttons on the first page and 4 text boxes on the second page of the wizard. 
 When the interface is opened as a standalone tab in chrome, on the first page everything works fine. Including all expressions. 
 On the second page when I type something in one of the text boxes and click on something else the text disappears. When I do this on the interface in the designer everything works the way it should. 
 
 Any solutions?

The reason I asked to see your task configuration, and what Carlos Santander was getting at too probably, was the fact that if a rule input is not mapped to an ACP variable in the user input task, the value entered on-form will be lost after the field is unfocused - this of course won't happen when viewing the form in interface designer. By starting over, I expect you have inadvertently fixed this issue. But it would help for you to understand what exactly is going on as that's the only real way to prevent future issues. 
 
If you want to reproduce what i'm talking about, to understand better -- temporarily add a new text RI and accompanying text field on your SAIL form, but don't update the user input task node in the process model. Then when you run that task again, you'll see the new field but you will find any value entered will disappear -- I believe the same way as what you were experiencing before.

The saveinto and value variables should match. The textbox displays value (set via literal or variable, in your case I'm assuming variable) and when you change the value in the interface the box refreshes and display the current value of the variable in the value attribute. So to see the value entered to be displayed all the time you have to use the same variable for the value. 
 
Both the value and saveinto takes expressions so you can configure it per your requirements, like default value etc. 
 
In Interface designer for a more accurate test, click on Test button on the top each time.

The save input into and display value are the same for all. That's not it.

Please make sure you specified the same variable in value and saveInto. Example below: value: ri!vehicleInfo.make, saveInto: ri!vehicleInfo.make, 
 
 If there is any discrepancy, value will be wiped-out.
