If you want the updated value of the local variable to be saved into a rule input, you would need to configure that save to happen when you submit the form. So for example, you could do this in your submit button to update the latest value to your rule input on submission.

a!buttonWidget(
  label: "Submit",
  submit: true,
  style: "PRIMARY",
  saveInto: {
    a!save(ri!b, local!b),
    a!save(ri!c, local!c)
  }
)

Thanks for your reply Alex,

I am getting the values for b & c already on changing the ri!a part(refresh), But it is not getting saved it in my rule inputs- ri!b or ri!c.

i have tried saving using a!save().

Everytime it is showing me 'null' in my Rule inputs, but it is getting displayed in my UI.

I think you can achieve what you are trying to do by using a!refreshVariable() and the parameter "refreshOnVarChange". Here is simple example of what it sounds like you are trying to do:

a!localVariables(
  local!b: a!refreshVariable(
    value: rule!getValueForB(),
    refreshOnVarChange: ri!a
  ),
  local!c: a!refreshVariable(
    value: rule!getValueForC(),
    refreshOnVarChange: ri!a
  ),
  {
    a!dropdownField(
      label: "a",
      value: ri!a,
      saveInto: ri!a,
      choiceLabels: {1, 2, 3},
      choiceValues: {1, 2, 3}
    ),
    a!textField(
      label: "b",
      value: local!b,
      readOnly: true
    ),
    a!textField(
      label: "c",
      value: local!c,
      readOnly: true
    )
  }
)

 a!textField(
                  label: "GEID",
                  labelPosition: "ABOVE",
                  value:if(not(isnull(ri!replacement_soeid)),rule!ONB_GeidFromAPI(ri!replacement_soeid),""),
                  saveInto: a!save(ri!geid,clean(save!value)),
                  refreshAfter: "UNFOCUS",
                  readonly: true,
                  validations: {}

I have a following code in which there is a text field "GEID" , which is displaying a correct value, fetched from API call "rule!ONB_GeidFromAPI". But it is not getting saved into rule input, can you please guide or give a sample code that would be really helpful. Thanks

The values of B and C can be set to that value of a rule that you call. If you assign the value to a local! variable and make that of type a!refeshVariable() and refresh=always then the values of B and C can be re-set according to the value of A.
