Boy, do you have me confused.
When I was testing the behavior I was using a new Item (derived from a Template) that had a Form assigned, the Form had a number of Attributes where the Attribute Type is String.
Now, one thing I have noticed is that if I start from a new Item (with Form assigned) and expose the Attribute Pane (Ctrl-4), and make the data entry in the Attribute Pane the data is preserved as entered - w/o having to do anything else.
Seems to point to the way that data is being read from the Form and written to the database.
