Interface is not showing the values in the underlying local variable

I put a cast function in when I declare the local variable updatedParishProfile and now it works!!!!

Thanks again Mike!!!

local!updatedParishProfile: a!refreshVariable(
    value: if(
      local!parishCount > 1,
      cast('recordType!PMSO Parish Profile',local!selectedParishProfile),
      if(
        local!parishCount = 1,
        local!parishProfiles[1],
        cast(
          'recordType!PMSO Parish Profile',
          null
        )
      )
    ),
    refreshAlways: true
  ),

ITS A MAP!!! Do I have to cast it as a Record Type?

What (exact) data type(s) do the local variables "local!parishProfiles" as well as "local!updatedParishProfile" resolve as, i.e. when you click on the variable in the local variables panel to check the underlying data type? I'm a little confused whether they're resolving as "record type data" or as standard dictionaries, and some of your usage goes back and forth between styles (such as your "selectionValue" parameter here getting the simple "parishId" property via index(), instead of using a record type property for it).

What is your code for grid selection? Does the data typing within the local variable (which you screenshotted just a tiny bit of an overview of) line up with your record type, or has it accidentally gotten translated into something else (like a flat dictionary, or maybe an "array of 1" of your record type instead of a single instance of it)?

Do you want me to attach all of the code for the form? It is close to 900 lines of code.

Thanks for the quick response.

I do not see any obvious mistake. For more, I need more context and details.

I wrapped the variable in the refreshVariable function and tried several different refresh options. To avail. If anyone can point me in the right direction, please let me know.

Thanks
