InputText in facelets repeat not updated with empty value

[chu zhang]

Hi,
I have a ListDataMode field in my backing bean with facelets repeat . It works fine if user input not empty value. Somehow if user change data field to empty, the input value previous stored in ListDataMode is not updated.

It seems that it does not apply request values if input text is empty. Any ideas or thoughts are very appreciated ?
