Stuck on the start form on the debugging process for the Acme exercise 8

Please check that all field store their values to rule inputs, and that these are assigned to process variables.

Please check that all field store their values to rule inputs, and that these are assigned to process variables.

Thanks a lot for response,

yes I checked each of the fields, they are storing their values and save into values.

I checked also on the document center, I found this below text, mentioning that when the value is null, the text input becomes blank. but this is not the case. each field has its own configuration with the value and save into fields configured.

" Now, when you click away from the text input, the text input becomes blank. This is because the value of the component is hard-coded to null. Notice, though, the character count was updated. That's because the variable has the correct data " 

This is the sub-interface. Could you please show us the snapshot from the main interface instead of the sub-interface. As they mentioned, from the main interface they are providing null value into value configuration.

If the values are configured correctly on interface, are the values saving when you try to add type anything on the interface itself instead of debugging the process? If yes, try checking if the inputs are correctly mapped on the start form and all the inputs are parameterized.

Thanks a lot for your support. above is the main code for the interface, on the exercise, this code was already populated, I only added lines 2,3, and 4 for the dropdowns fields for Category, status, and condition fields.

I´m trying to check on the process model configuration.

Regards,

Thanks a lot for your reply.

Yes, I´m checking the start form configuration; I haven´t been able to update the process flow, I got error message as shared below in the discussion.
