The $select widget creates a field with the specified name (i.e.
"Status"). If you re-display the tiddler *during the current session* ,
the selected value ("A") will be shown in the $select list, as you
expected. However, all field names *must* be lower case to comply with the
HTML syntax used to store them in the file. So, when you save and reload
the file in your browser, the fieldname has been automatically converted to
lower case (i.e., "status") and when you then display the tiddler, it will
show the default value (i.e., "new"), since the stored tiddler fieldname,
"status", no longer matches the specified tiddler fieldname, "Status".
The solution is to always use only lower case field names.
