xpage document will not save new document, but will save an existing doc that has been edited

Question

I have a xapage that I created laid out the form etc. When I create a new document with it, it does not save the document. However if I edit an existing document that was created with the notes form it does save that. It is very odd. There are not any error messages, it just reloads the document again with empty fields. Below is my source code:

Answer 1

This is solved. Unlike classic notes development, if the form property is set to document rather than response it will not save a document when using the action create response. So changing the property to a response solves the issue.
