When you initialize the template save the select-box selection in some variable. When the selection is changed and the users hits cancel in the confirmation box, set the select box item value to the saved selection. If the user hits "OK" on the confirmation, make sure you save this new selection in that variable.

Not only that, but use the .selected = true property in Javascript so that the previous value is visually selected, as well.

What u said will work out if everytime the user opens the DCR to edit. WHat if the user opens, selects one item saves it and without closing changes the selected item??
In TS 6.5( formAPI ) they have mentioned that along with Itemchange there is a property called oldValue. Has anyone tried this ?

Irene, as he mentioned you would need to update the saved values after the user confirmed their selection.
