Field value not being written to database

Question

Hello,
I'm trying to auto-populate a form field from a value in one of my backing beans by changing the field value property from #{bindings.Modifiedby1.inputValue} to #{pageFlowScope.backing_Login.userName}. When I open the form, the correct value from the backing bean is displayed in the field now, but when I save/commit the record the value doesn't make it to the database so while it is displayed on the screen in the form field, it doesn't get written to the database. Is there something that needs to be done to update the input value in the actual binding or something? I'm developing in JDeveloper 11.1.1.3.
Thanks!

Well, I thought it was working. I've found that the ModifiedBy and ModifiedDate fields do get updated in the database now, but it updates those two fields in the first row that was displayed on the table instead of the row that was selected. Here's my backing bean code (I've tried to comment what I'm doing in each step):
public void editDialogListener(DialogEvent dialogEvent) {
//when "ok" button in dialog box is selected
if (dialogEvent.getOutcome().name().equals("ok")) {
//get userName from Login backing bean and save as loggedInUser
RequestContext requestContext =
RequestContext.getCurrentInstance();
String loggedInUser =
(String)requestContext.getPageFlowScope().get("userName");
//get bindings
BindingContainer bindings = getBindings();
//get Modifiedby1 attribute from bindings and setInputValue to LoggedInUser
AttributeBinding attrModifiedBy =
(AttributeBinding)bindings.getControlBinding("Modifiedby1");
attrModifiedBy.setInputValue(loggedInUser);
//get Modifieddate1 attribute from bindings and setInputValue to current date
AttributeBinding attrModifiedDate =
(AttributeBinding)bindings.getControlBinding("Modifieddate1");
attrModifiedDate.setInputValue(new Date());
//perform Commit
OperationBinding operationBinding =
bindings.getOperationBinding("Commit");
operationBinding.execute();
Can anyone see what I need to add or do differently to grab the selected row's attributes for updating?
