Custom Message Panel predicates are cleared out when adding recipients

Hey kids,

   I am sure this is something simple, but I can't figure it out. I have a custom message with three predicates that I need included in the resulting message. I have created them in the Event Domain, and my message panel is pointing to that event domain. I have the predicates referenced at the top of the jsp page like so:

  final String PREDICATE_VALUE_PREFIX = PredicateBean.PREDICATE_VALUE_PREFIX.toString();

  final String SUBJECT_PREDICATE        = MessagingData.SUBJECT_FIELD_PREFIX + "main";

  final String MESSAGE_PREDICATE        = MessagingData.MESSAGE_BODY_FIELD_PREFIX + "main";

  final String CURRENT_STATUS_PREDICATE = PREDICATE_VALUE_PREFIX + "currentstatus";

  final String IMPACTED_SERV_PREDICATE  = PREDICATE_VALUE_PREFIX + "impactedservices";

  final String REC_ACTIONS_PREDICATE    = PREDICATE_VALUE_PREFIX + "recommendedactions";

Then, I have the textareas defined like so:

    <div>

      <label title="" for="IMPACTED_SERV_PREDICATE:input">Impacted Services:

      </label>

      <textarea

          label="Impacted Services"

          id="<%= IMPACTED_SERV_PREDICATE %>"

          name="<%= IMPACTED_SERV_PREDICATE %>"

          title="Impacted Services"

          cols="60" rows="4"

          onkeypress="checkKey( <%= IMPACTED_SERV_PREDICATE %> )">

          <%= messageData.getTextFieldValue( IMPACTED_SERV_PREDICATE ) %>

      </textarea><span id="impactedServReq">*</span>

    </div>

However, if I populate text in the predicate boxes, then select a recipient, all of the boxes are cleared out except for the Subject and the Message. ( I assume because they are "built-in").

Any ideas?
