Field value getting blank

Question

Hi , 
 
 Below code is displaying value in case of flag is true but in case of false it is keeping that field blank. 
 I don't want to keep that field blank , it should not change on click of any button. 
 
 a!paragraphField( label: "Test", value: if(rule!APN_isBlank(local!tempFlag),"","Hello to all"), disabled: if(rule!APN_isBlank(local!tempChangeFlag),false,true) ) 
 
 Regards 
 Saurav

load( local!pagingInfo:a!pagingInfo(startIndex: 1,batchSize: 12), local!gridSelection: a!gridSelection(pagingInfo: local!pagingInfo), local!tempFlag, local!hello, 
 
 with( a!formLayout( label: "", contents: { 
 a!sectionLayout( label:"Hello", contents: { a!columnsLayout( columns: { a!columnLayout( contents: { 
 a!paragraphField( label: "Test", value: local!hello, disabled: if(rule!APN_isBlank(local!tempFlag),false,true), saveInto: local!hello 
 ), 
 a!checkboxField( label: "Hello to all", choiceLabels: "Yes", choiceValues: 1, value: local!tempFlag, saveInto: { local!tempFlag, if(not(rule!APN_isBlank(local!tempFlag)),a!save(local!hello, "Hello to all"),{}) } 
 )})})})}) ))

You need to add saveInto parameter. Please review this documentation: https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/19.2/enabling_user_interaction.html

The issue appears to be that you're not using a!checkboxField correctly. 
 In your code snippet, you're basing the value of your checkboxField on local!tempFlag while your choiceValues value was just 1, while at the same time the saveInto of the checkbox field was attempting to save a string value into the same field. The checkboxField is supposed to only store the value(s) seen in the choiceValues array, and will only appear as checked when the value of the value parameter matches what's seen in choiceValues .
