Symptoms

The client built a solution that contained a "list view". (The data source is a smartbox smartobject). When a adding items to the list view and clicking "Submit", he fires the "execute the create method for all items that have been added" rule. In the configuration section, he "hard-coded" the value of the "application". When he edits the list again, the "hard-coded" value is gone.
 

Diagnoses

The field parts that he used in the rest of the configuration seems to be working as expected, so if must have something to do with supplying just text (Hard-coded) values in the input parameters.
 

Resolution

This was resolved after he upgraded his VM to 469.
