The code is very extensive (it's a complex widget) so first I'm just trying to understand what happens in a normal form. You say that other widgets aren't preserving values from the db. So where do the values come from if you have keepvalues=True?
Also, this *is* a situation where an existing record is loaded into the form, then modified on form submission. So how does the form present to me the values I just changed if it's not coming from the db? I think if I can understand how that works I'll be able to solve the problem in my code myself.
