Page item values lost when moving application from 3.1.1 to 4.0.2

Question

I have an application that is working fine in version 3.1.1, but when I move it to 4.0.2, I'm having some issues with losing page item values. I have a page (6) with master key fields that are used to set page items on another page (7) when I branch to that page. In 3.1.1 the items in the page I'm going to are defined as 'Hidden and Protected' and in 4.0.2 they are defined as 'Hidden' (don't see a 'hidden and protected type'). When page 7 first displays, I see the values I passed in the session items. When I fill in the displayed items on the form and click to create a record, I get errors that the key values are null (these are the items I set when I branched to this page). When I look in the session items now, the values are missing. Why are the values lost and is there a work around?

Hi there,
In 4.0.2 there is no hidden & protected item but instead you have one select called "value protected" you can select yes or no there.
Edit your item and See the "Source" region of your item, in the "Source used" it should be "current value in session state is null" and in "Source type" should be "static assignment..........".
In the "Default" region the value type should be "static text ......."
see if there is any changes in these properties.
