You can delete all irrelevant code and front panel objects and attach only the minimum that still shows the problem.

(Maybe all you need to leave is the control in question on a otherwise blank VI).

Could it be the "field" is actually an indicator and you have set "clear indicators when called" enabled under execution options?

If you right click on the control or indicatior an find all of the Local Variables, property nodes this will allow you to see where you might be interacting with this control or indicator.

The problem turned out to be Front Panel Save-Restore.VI which I added at the beginning at end of my Flat Sequence Structure.  It was added after I had set some of the defaults but overwrote changes I tried to make later. It was tricky to find because it had nothing to do with the individual fields.

If it's fixed, why show it at all? Convert it to a constant. 🙂
