We have an issue with a variable overwriting another variable within a sail form. These variables initially have the same value and then one is modified by the user while the other remains a "read only" version.

ri!exceptionDetails_cdt.crsExceptionID
),

So there are a couple things I'm seeing that could be part of the problem: when you call a rule input, it should always be prefaced with ri! . You don't seem to be following this syntax on line 22 or 42, for example. I also noticed that line 22 ends with an apostrophe, where I think you meant to put a comma.
