How do I retain values in Local Variable after a!startProcess

I found the issue, it was with my definition of local Variable. Thanks for helping me pin point this. I was assuming it's some kinda behaviour of startProcess to revert the values.

Nope the Submit is false, but I found my mistake. When defining the variable I was using an IF Condition and each time the condition was false it reverted to {} Empty value. Such a silly mistake I overlooked.

nevrtheleass I have used refreshvariable and switched to refreshOnReferencedVarChange to FALSE. Thanks for helping me debug this step by step.

What is this "Save Draft" button doing? Does it submit?

I'm passing this value via a local!Variable to a separate interface , wouldn't it be redundant to save localVariable back to the same Variable?

Tried this approach as well just to try my luck, but alas!

onSuccess:{
                a!save(local!draftBtnClicked, true),
                a!save(ri!attestationDetails, fv!processInfo.pv.attestationDetails),
                a!save(ri!questions, fv!processInfo.pv.questions),
                a!save(ri!reminderEmailDetails, fv!processInfo.pv.reminderDetails),
                
                a!save(local!initialReminder, local!initialReminder)
                }

Here's how my sectionLayout that hold the particular screen is: Is this a wrong approach?

a!sectionLayout(
                  contents: {
                    rule!EA_captureReminderDetails(
                      attestationDetails: ri!attestationDetails,
                      initialReminder: local!initialReminder,
                      adhocReminderEmail: local!adhocReminder,
                      isModifybuttonSelected: local!isModify,
                      /*attestationAddInfo: ri!attestationAddInfo,*/
                      parentAttestationAddInfo: ri!parentAttestationAddInfo
                    )
                  },
                  showWhen: local!activeStep = 4
                ),

I have my local Variable local!initialReminder which is sent to a separate section Inteface, The values are populated there.

My Button SaveDraft has a a!startProcess inside a SaveInto parameter. before that I'm doing a bunch of saves but that's on different CDT. OnSuccess I'm further doing some saves but those are on Process variables again different CDTs, My local!initialReminder is not touched. Except this particular save which passes this variable

a!save(
                ri!reminderEmailDetails,
                rule!EA_prepareReminderList(
                  initialReminder: local!initialReminder,
                  beforeDueDateReminder: local!beforeDueDateReminder,
                  afterDueDateReminder: local!afterDueDateReminder,
                  finalReminder: local!finalReminder,
                  isPreDeadLineReminderChecked: local!ispreDeadLineReminder,
                  isPostDeadLineReminderChecked: local!ispostDeadLineReminder,
                  isBreachReminderChecked: local!isBreachReminder,
                  adhocReminder: local!adhocReminder
                )
              ),

Also this save is before my startProcess.

I would assume that you can save to the local variable via the onSuccess.

In my interfaces a!startProcess does not refresh anything unless I add a bunch of a!save(). Can you share some code?
