<p>Here are a few things you could try.</p>
<p>1. Move the select outside the form. Because it is serialized with ajax it should be fine.<br>
2. Remove the select using javascript in a onClick event on the submit button, something like onClick: ((html jQuery id: selectId) remove; return: true)<br>
3. Use ajax to serialize the form elements by giving them a common class and using a standard button with a <br>
onClick: ((html jQuery ajax<br>
serialize: (html jQuery: '.commonCssClass');<br>
Script: [:s | s callback: [current callback on submit button]</p>

>> Ok, I've found the problem. As it is all the same form I submit it twice. Once for the transfer of the select value and the second time when using the submit button. The select callback is triggered a second time and the magritte component gets resetted and that is the reason I can't see the value. I'm not sure what is the best solution to it. Is it possible to submit only a subset of the form fields? Otherwise I need to detect this case somehow.<br>

<br>
That wouldn't work. I need only one text input because the selected class is the simplest one of all possible. For every other case there will be multiple form elements that form a new instance. So the delegating component needs to be agnostic of the selected instance. As it is a select I just switch cases and there is no need to reset the child component unless the selection has changed. This way it works quite ok.<br>
