PFR Updated a DFF value in VO but doesn't change the value on the page

Question

I am in an R12 instance and lets just say I have 2 items in the same VO which I am wanting to update within the ProcessFormRequest. For this case lets just say i want both of the fields to be updated with the string "test". One of the attributes is attached to a descriptive flex field and the other is not. Both of them are displayed within the same region and start off null. What i want to happen is for both of these fields to start off null and once the PFR fires i would like them both to have a value of "test". I should note that both fields do not have any LOVs assigned to them. Right now what happens is when the process form request fires the field not to the DFF is updating correctly but the one tied to the DFF is not. I verified that the DFF field has the correct value for itself in the VO by displaying the value directly from the VO with debug statements right after the setAttribute command was triggered.
Here is the code for the main controller's PFR:
   super.processFormRequest(pageContext, webBean);
   OAApplicationModule am = pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean);
   OAViewObject myVO = (OAViewObject)am.findViewObject("the VOs Name");
   OARow row = (OARow)myVO.getCurrentRow();
   row.setAttribute("FieldNotTiedtoDFF","test"); *<--works, the field is then set to test, item not tied to DFF*
   row.setAttribute("Attribute1","test"); *<--not working and stays blank and doesn't get refreshed to test, item tied to the DFF*
The same thing occurs when i try:
   OAMessageTextInputBean nonDffField = (OAMessageTextInputBean)webBean.findChildRecursive("FieldNotTiedtoDFF");
   nonDffField.setValue(pageContext,"test");
   OAMessageTextInputBean DffField = (OAMessageTextInputBean)webBean.findChildRecursive("FlexID1");
   DffField.setValue(pageContext,"test");
Any suggestions on why the field for the DFF isn't updated on the user's screen?

Hi,
Just try redirecting to the same page at the end of ProcessFormRequest.
