I have a form node:
This form helps the user configure the Pi to look for different devices on Modbus TCP. I'm using a form so the IP address is flexible.
These fields are enterable, but they are not retained. Meaning, if I reboot those fields will go blank. The name field is used else where. I can see the fields are blank after a reboot.
The IP address and port interestingly still works. I don't lose connection.
How do i get these fields to retain their entry after bootup? Especially the name field.
