Combo box value

Hi all,
 
Thanks is advance..
 
I have a question related to Combo box values.
 
In my scenario, I have 2 combo. 1st combo box displays country. 2nd combo box displays region. Based on the selction of 1st combo box, 2nd combo box populates. As a result, If i choose a value in 2nd combo box and move to next field that contains name picker. So, If i choose value from Name picker, combo box gets refreshed and as a result value in combo box gets set to the 1st value in the list.
 
 
Due to this workflow messes.
 
Pls suggest a way to avoid refresh of combo fields due to  other field changes.

Hope this helps..
 
I think if its possible to add  those 2 combo boxes in a panel/table and other design elements in second panel/table and do partial refresh of the second panel only on change of design elements in the second panel so the data in the first panel wont change.

It seems to be a refresh issue, values are getting set to first one because of refreshing. Try to avoid refreshing of both combo box by placing them into separate panel from name picker.

Re: Combo box value
What is the value binding on the fields? Some scope? Field in document?

Re: Combo box value
 Sounds like when you change value in the name picker, you are calling a full refresh, which affects the combo boxes also.
 
Do you need fields to refresh based on a value from the name picker? 
 
If so, place a panel, or div around the fields that the name picker will refresh, and set the name picker to partial refresh the panel or div containing the fields that need updating. 
 
This way, it will only update these fields, and not touch the combo boxes, aslong as they are not within the same panel or div.
 
It may be that you dont need anything to refresh from the name picker, in which case, double check the refresh settings and disable if need be.
