Every time I choose a value and move the cursor out it is refreshing and getting back to placeholder label. I have provided my code below. Please advise.

&lt;br /&gt;
To give more context on this, &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once you selected the Choice label from the drop-down , corresponding choice value will be saved into &amp;quot;Value&amp;quot; parameter(can be local variable/rule input). The same/any modified value can be saved into &amp;quot;SaveInto&amp;quot; parameter using a!save .&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For all the user interacted fields both Value and SaveInto should be passed , whereas for readonly , only value is fine , corresponding value need to be saved while submitting the form or in the process.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks&lt;br /&gt;
