getValue/setValue on generated select elements

[Artie Gold]

I've run into a problem:

Because I need to set a value in the information to be posted in a form post-click (I have multiple buttons doing slightly different flavors of posts) I have Javascript code that looks like this:

                           ...

                           inputExDefinition.parentEl = 'container1'

                           var theButtons = [{

                                type: 'submit',

                                value: 'Save',

                                onClick: function (e) {

                                    var values = f.getValue();

                                    values.someFlag = "false";

                                    f.setValue(values);

                                }

                            },

                            {

                                type...

                            ...

As part of my (generated) form, I have a "select" field with number values.

Unfortunately, the value in the select field doesn't make the round trip. At some point, the 'value' becomes a quoted string, and a "===" in setValue it fails to be validated, and becomes 0.

Ideas?

Thanks,
