"Save Draft" option in Tasks

Question

Hello guys, can anyone explain how the save draft functionality works in some detail. 
 
 In my task i have a grid in which i select a row and then press save draft. After opening the task again, the row is not selected.

Only rule input based variables are saved. No locals.

Hi karlon2336 Leave the Allow users to save a draft of in-progress tasks checkbox selected if you would like to give users the ability to save a draft of the task before submission. This is only applicable if you are saving user inputs into Activity Class Parameters .

 I'd bet a few dollars that it has to do with how you're declaring the local variable, "local!technicalInformation". Mind showing a screenshot of where you set its initial value upon form load?

 So the local variable is not making any reference to the current value of the rule input. And then the field's "value" parameter only makes reference to the local variable. So no matter what the user does, when they re-open the form, it's going to appear blank. 
 Instead you need to try defining the local variable such that it observes the current value (if any) of the rule input: 
 local!technicalInformation: ri!technicalInformation,
