James, The contents of a field, even a Display-Only field, remain static until one of two things happen:
1) Other workflow changes it. 2) The current transaction is complete. So if your Filter is firing on Modify, all Modify Filters will fire against that record, and the data will remain under the control of the Filters until they are done. At that point, the DO field is cleared by AR System. Since I haven't seen anything indicating your Filters are firing on different actions, and both actions are in the same Filter, I suspect that other workflow is changing (or nulling) the value of the field. Remember that the Phase 3 action (Notify) will be deferred until all of the other Phase 2 actions have completed. Look at your Filter logs to find what might be setting that field.
