Thanks for the feedback. I got it working with adding a dummy error message. However, I will keep this information handy.

Hi! I don't know whether this would help u, but this is what i do: - Set immediate=true for both inputs in table and action - When action executes, call first table.processUpdates, where table is the UIData bound to table. This would copy submitted values into model.
