There is a problem with the retention of data when you use field validation and one of those fields fail. I include the command I use for my field validation.

The scenario goes like this, every field that does not have some type of properties is refreshed after the error is displayed, field 3,10,11,8,and 9 will loose their content after the error is displayed, so beside having to fix the field in error, in this case I have to retype whatever I had typed in fields 3,10,11,8 and 9.
