Adding to what Stefan said, all the UIT in the Process Models are by default save-draft compatible. You can toggle it in the settings of the UIT.

This is nothing you have to implement. Just make sure to use rule inputs for all the values you want to be saved. Local variables are not persisted.

Hello george,

You have to save the selected id of grid in rule input ri! for this and you have to pass this id from process model
like

saveInto:{
a!save(ri!selectedId,local!gridSelection.selected)
}

Note: you cann't save this to local variable because local variable loads each time when open the form

There are 2 types of variables in a form:
1) Interface inputs. Identified by ri! in the interface/rule.
2) Local variables. Identified by local! in the interface/rule.

Interface inputs are of 2 types, ACPs and PVs. Anything saved in ACPs will be persisted when Save Draft is selected by the user.
It's a design consideration, either disable Save Draft option or use interface inputs the right way so that Save Draft works.

Anything saved in local! variables are not persisted when Save Draft.
