Editing Checklist Form in .docx format

I have created a form for an editing checklist on the .docx format. Once I take it out of design mode, save it, and enter data, the check boxes all work but any text I enter is not there in the textboxes when I reopen the form after a save. It is returned to the default text I have specified in the textbox form control.

Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

I've attached the document.

Thanks!

I tested it with both:

Version: 24.2.1.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: db4def46b0453cc22e2d0305797cf981b68ef5ac
CPU threads: 16; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19045; UI render: Skia/Vulkan; VCL: win
Locale: en-US (en_US); UI: en-US
Calc: CL threaded

Version: 24.8.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 6a064b1967e06e40be40817deff99d00c1a8554f
CPU threads: 16; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19045; UI render: Skia/Vulkan; VCL: win
Locale: en-US (en_US); UI: en-US
Calc: CL threaded

I can confirm that the data entered does not save and the radio buttons are saved still.

I believe I found another bug with these form controls. Should I add it here or create another report? I think the tab index doesn't work in the form control. Tabbing through items doesn't seem to follow the tab index but I can't see why it is tabbing in the order it is.

Anyone have a recommendation on whether to include that here or add a new bug report?

Please keep reports focused on one single issue.

I can also reproduce. The same file saved as ODT will keep the text in the text boxes.
