Conversion of FMB to XML problem

Question

Forms [32 Bit] Version 9.0.4.0.19 (Production)
I am in the middle of a conversion project where we are converting fmb files to xml, making the required changes to the xml files using a conversion program, and then converting them back to fmb. When compiling the the fmb files, I noticed that there were compilation errors in a few of the forms. Checking original xml code for one of the forms that did not compile, it did not contain the trigger text for one of my post-change triggers. The block actually contains two items with the same identical post-change trigger. Only the trigger text for one of the items is written. The following shows the trigger for the "RECEIVED_TODAY" written properly, but the next item with the identical trigger does not have the trigger text:
<Item Name="RECEIVED_TODAY" FontName="Arial" .... MaximumLength="10">
<Trigger Name="POST-CHANGE"
TriggerText=":in_po_detail.qty_received :=
:in_po_detail.qty_received + nvl(:in_po_detail.received_today,0);
&#10; &#10;get_due;" DirtyInfo="true" />
</Item>
<Item Name="RETURNED_TODAY" FontName="Arial" .... MaximumLength="10">
<Trigger Name="POST-CHANGE" DirtyInfo="true" />
</Item>
If I delete and re-create the trigger for the item that is not written, it will write the corresponding xml out properly.
Does anyone know why this is happening?

Peter,
sound strange and my guess is that this should be looked at by customer support. Is the Forms module originally build in Forms 9.0.4 or is it upgraded from a previous version of Forms?
I found bug 2923866 that reports a similar case where the trigger was subclassed from a form or library. In this case the trigger text wasn't in the XML output and showed only if created in the Forms. Not sure if this is the same problem you are facing.
