Forms Entry disappearing

Dashboard
1

I have a forms entry UI on my dashboard. I can enter values into it. Great! But is there a way to make my entry stay after I hit the submit button? I can enter values into it. It outputs and does its thing, but the value disappears.

Feed the output message back to the input.
