Maximo Open Forum

Hey there! 

I've been working on kind of a personal project with MAF; in a nutshell I've been trying to add a "surveys" page to the "Self Serve" application. I've already configured my own custom survey logic on Manage and it's working perfectly, and so far I've kind of configured a big chunk of it on self serve:

• I added a card group including my open surveys 
• Clicking on any of these surveys routes me to a new page called "surveys" that lists my answers neatly
• Each answer has either star ratings, yes or no answers or a free form answer. 
• Finally, there's a "submit button". 

All that has been configured visually, but my problem here is that, all of it can not be mutated from the self serve portal. I mean I can click on the star rating, and it functions as you'd expect, but it doesn't save to the Manage database, even thought I am using maximo-datasource which theoretically should autosave. I do click on the submit button which calls an API and that API does run, but I am unable to save any changes in he data of the maximo-datasource. 

I am using nested datasources, as well as not using any kind of controller for these datasource. Could this be the issue here? Is there some sort of guide I could be referencing regarding using datasources? I have read the MAF developer documentation but I am unable to extract the information I need from it. 

Here's the relevant snippet from my code for reference:
