How to store values for the form fields?

ssram

How do i store the last used field value here in the following function? Is there a variable that i could use for it like "?defValue"? I would like use the last used Library again when i go back to the form field so that i dont have to type in every time. 

ddHiCreateLibraryComboField(
    ?name 'libraryName
    ?prompt "Library : "
    ;?value ""
    ?defValue ""
     ?callback "ddsUpdateSyncWithForm()"
    )

    The simplest is not to recreate the form each time you display it. If you create the form once and then display the same form each time, it will retain the values you used previously without needing to do anything special. Otherwise you'd need to record the values you want to keep in the callback for the form, and then use these as the ?defValue values (or ?value values) next time you create the form - but this seems like overkill to me when just re-using the same form would preserve the values.
