Sounds like you are close to getting this working.
You've added a new field to the panel and the new field is working, the architecture recognizes the new field and the drop down list works. This implies that the .sym file text definition change for the new field has been recognized. Panel data after the new field is misaligned.
When in AWB and after making sym changes, do you do the Portal/J Editor before saving the sym? This is necessary for Portal/J specific things to keep track of and allows for tweaking the panel. Be sure to Save / Exit out of the editor. I don't think this is the problem.
After doing the mapgen of the new .sym definition, have a look at the linkage definition between the .ccp and the architecture handling the panel defined in the gencopy member. Does it look correct? Is your new field where you expect it to be? Is the .ccp compile chained through the directory to pick up the new gencopy? This can be checked by looking at a compilation listing which is described elsewhere on PassPortGeek. Within the compilation listing you must find the new gencopy definition.
When you use Portal/J there is a xym definition loaded per panel onto the client. The first time anyone accesses the panel after it has been mapgen'd should update the Portal/J directory holding the xym's on the Portal/J server. Keep in mind that there might be more than 1 Portal/J in use against the Asset Suite region.
I believe the database tables holding the panel definition as defined by the .sym text file are TIDSYM, TIDSYMX, TIDMDT, and TIDMDTX. Have a look at them. The architecture uses the panel as defined in the database tables.
That's all I can think of. Please post how it goes.
Possibly a map / .ccp linkage misalignment?
