In my piece of code below, I use select list tag to get user's input for a field of an object. I have a text field type for an object which I am trying to update using a VF page.
<apex:column headerValue="Rating" style="text-align:center;">
<apex:outputField value="{!skillreview.skillReview.RatingCopy__c}" rendered="{!NOT(interviewerMode)}"/>
<apex:selectList value="{!skillreview.rating}" multiselect="false" size="1" rendered="{!interviewerMode}" id="sl" >
<apex:selectOption itemValue="N/A" itemLabel="N/A"/>
<apex:selectOption itemValue="1" itemLabel="1"/>
<apex:selectOption itemValue="2" itemLabel="2"/>
<apex:selectOption itemValue="3" itemLabel="3"/>
<apex:selectOption itemValue="4" itemLabel="4"/>
<apex:selectOption itemValue="5" itemLabel="5"/>
</apex:selectList>
</apex:column>
Description:
Once I hit save on my VF page , I can save the value to the database and I set the interviewerMode variable as false, which would show me <apex:outputField value="{!skillreview.skillReview.RatingCopy__c}" rendered="{!NOT(interviewerMode)}"/> and when I click an edit button(custom button which I am able to edit the page) , I make the interviewerMode variable as true, which would show me :
<apex:selectList value="{!skillreview.rating}" multiselect="false" size="1" rendered="{!interviewerMode}" id="sl" >
<apex:selectOption itemValue="N/A" itemLabel="N/A"/>
<apex:selectOption itemValue="1" itemLabel="1"/>
<apex:selectOption itemValue="2" itemLabel="2"/>
<apex:selectOption itemValue="3" itemLabel="3"/>
<apex:selectOption itemValue="4" itemLabel="4"/>
<apex:selectOption itemValue="5" itemLabel="5"/>
</apex:selectList>
The problem: When I hit edit the value of the field is reset back to "N/A" instead of the most recent value of the field that was updated to the field. How can I make the field to retain its value when I use selectList or selectionOption.
