All that changes come into affect, when you reopen the form or redraw the HTML form using the Reload button.

After clicking the Reload button you will be asked if you want to discard all changes. By selecting No the HTML form data will be written into the local data store, otherwise all inputs will be reset. To exit the form and save all changes in the local data store, click the OK button. To ignore your changes, click the Cancel button and you will be asked if you want to discard all changes. The HTML form utility works completely on the local data store.

To store the data in the database, click the save button of the main form!
