Enum Field resets every time child record is entered

[Daisy_Ramirez]

I have an ENUM field that resets every time an entry is made in the child record but Reset on Edit is not turned on for the field. In addition to the image the following is turned on but nothing else - in prior designs the system doesn’t react this way. Any thoughts?

Editable? Yes
Searchable? Yes

Here is button that keeps resetting each time I make an entry in the child records. Child records are currently set to not be seen unless the value of the button is set to Yes
