How to refresh a disabled text field so the value can be saved?

No field can "save a value" if the user doesn't interact with it.

In your case, you want the value to be saved after the action on the dropdown field, and the text field can merely display that saved value.  This is the correct, and only, option.

Thank you Mike, the problem I have is that if I put the a!save in the dropdown field it stores the previous value of the variable because the variable updates its value after the a!save stores it. Is there a way to have that order reverse?

Please share your code.

a!save() statements execute sequentially in the order you put them.  that almost always works for cases like this.  as stefan mentioned, please share your dropdown code (and i guess also share what your text field is currently doing).

A simple standalone example.

a!localVariables(
  local!textFieldValue,
  local!dropdownFieldValue,
  {
    a!textField(
      label: "Text",
      labelPosition: "ABOVE",
      disabled: true,
      value: local!textFieldValue
    ),
    a!dropdownField(
      choiceLabels: {"Option 1", "Option 2", "Option 3", "Option 4",
                      "Option 5", "Option 6", "Option 7", "Option 8",
                      "Option 9", "Option 10", "Option 11", "Option 12"},
      choiceValues: {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12},
      label: "Dropdown",
      labelPosition: "ABOVE",
      placeholder: "--- Select a Value ---",
      value: local!dropdownFieldValue,
      saveInto: {
        local!dropdownFieldValue,
        local!textFieldValue
      },
      searchDisplay: "AUTO",
      validations: {}
    )
  }
)

It is really hard to follow the logic in your interface ...
