Here you are using Woody's Java API in flowscript, which isn't
necessarily wrong, but there's also an alternative. See the file
woody_flow_example.js:
var model = form.getModel();
model.somewidgetid = "Whatever";
And then there's also the "v2" woody-flowscript integration which is
similar but more powerful.
Currently the Java API is probably the most stable though.

Getting and setting the value of a form widget is about the most
essential operation you can do with a form (next to letting it process a
form submit), and could indeed use some more prominent place in the
documentation and/or samples since I've noticed confusion about this
before.
