Some forms contain HTML fields that do not refresh on actions like save. That is because these fields reference Item properties, and do not actually point to them.
To refresh these properties you can use an onFormPopulate event containing method code to repopulate the field. This same type of mechanism can be used for other aspects of the Item window, but this sample just covers the Status field on the Project Template form.
See TESTSTATUS file for latest testing information.
