No! Nobody should be using load() under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES now, it is DEPRECATED. (Additionally it is BAD PRACTICE to still use load() or with(), because among other things, variables defined using these old functions will not appear in the side-bar variable value monitoring pane, which is critical to proper development and testing.)

Also, don't put an "a!localVariables()" call inside a load() call, that is nonsensical and won't do anything.

Instead you ONLY need to use a!localVariables(), with the a!refreshVariable() used in the variable's definition, with the "refresh on referenced var change" parameter passed in as FALSE (it defaults to TRUE for all a!localVariables() variables unless specified as FALSE in this manner). The example code posted down-thread already by is a correct demonstration of this.

Try to Simulate below as per your code
I am passing rule Input(ri!integerInput) value as 1000. Change ri! as per your need.

a!localVariables(
  local!integerValue: a!refreshVariable(
    value: ri!integerInput,
    refreshOnReferencedVarChange: false
  ),
  {
    a!buttonArrayLayout(
      buttons: {
        a!buttonWidget(
          label: "Button",
          style: "OUTLINE",
          value: true,
          saveInto: a!save(ri!integerInput, 2000)
        )
      },
      align: "START",
      marginBelow: "NONE"
    )
  }
)

Use the a!localVariable(), inside load() , example as below, once you declare the variable under load it wont change.

Please use below code as example for reference.

load(

local!varA:ri!InputValue,


a!localVariables(


{

a!textField(
label:"Test"& local!varA,
value:ri!InputValue,
saveInto: ri!InputValue

),



}



)
)

Click on test interface and provide the input value and , and try updating the value in text field, the value of the local!varA wont change
