Hi Martin, The form reloads the entity from the database (it uses a kind of loadable detachable model) at each ajax request, so it does not remember the values for the fields that have been modified in previous requests if we use AjaxForm[Choice]ComponentUpdatingBehavior. This is why we use AjaxFormSubmitBehavior.
We could alter the form somehow to use AjaxForm[Choice]ComponentUpdat ingBehavior, but still... aren't my points valid?
