Lone Wolf Development Forums - Setting up a table of editable items

This is probably one of those "duh" moments, but I'm trying to set up a table with Edit fields (for names of the things) and I can't seem to get the changes made to stick. Here is the portal (other extraneous details edited out for simplicity):

Code:

<portal

  id="ftMembers"

  style="tblNormal">

    <table_fixed component="FTMember" showtemplate="FTMPick">

      <headertitle>

        @text="Fireteam Members"

      </headertitle>

    </table_fixed>

  </portal>

  

<template

  id="FTMPick"

  name="Fireteam Member Pick"

  compset="FTMember"

  marginhorz="5"

  marginvert="10">

  

  <portal

    id="name"

    style="editNormal">

    <edit

      field="ftName">

      </edit>

    </portal>

  

  <position><![CDATA[

    ~set up our height based on our tallest portal

    height = portal[name].height

    portal[name].width = 100

    

    ~if this is a "sizing" calculation, we're done

    if (issizing <> 0) then

      done

      endif



    ~position our tallest portal at the top

    portal[name].top = 0



    ~position the name on the left

    portal[name].left = 0

    ]]></position>

  </template>

The component and compset:

Code:

<component 

  id="FTMember"

  name="Fireteam Member"

  autocompset="no"

  panellink="ftPanel">

  

  <field

    id="ftName"

    name="Fireteam member name"

    type="user">

    </field>

  </component>



<!-- Fireteam -->

<compset

  id="FTMember">

  <compref component="FTMember"/>

  </compset>

The Thing entry:

Code:

<thing

  id="Fireteam"

  name="Fireteam member"

  compset="FTMember"

  isunique="no"

  description="This is a fireteam entry.">

</thing>

And where I bootstrap three of them onto the player (here, trying to set values so that I can see a difference from the outset):

Code:

<bootstrap index="30" thing="Fireteam">

  <assignval field="ftName" value="Bob"/>

</bootstrap>

<bootstrap index="31" thing="Fireteam">

  <assignval field="ftName" value="Tom"/>

</bootstrap>

<bootstrap index="32" thing="Fireteam">

  <assignval field="ftName" value="Harry"/>

</bootstrap>

The values I set don't get shown (instead, I get "0" in the field) and when I edit a field and exit the tab, it's back to "0" when I come back. And, when I look at the entry in the Debug window for Fields for the selected object, indeed, there's nothing in it.

I set this up using the template of skills having domains, which seemed parallel, and they don't seem to do anything special. What am I missing?
