Hi,  
I have my dropdown bound to a data object. I have another variable (Game Form) which is a json object in which i would like to capture my dropdown selection. Its not setting the variable for some reason in the workflow on the on change event.

The dropdown is bound to a data object called Game Data.

Game Form Variable looks like this

{  
“opponentId”: 0 (initial value)  
}
