Remember @DataModelSelection injects a value. So, when you hit save, you get a value injected both by @In and by @DataModelSelection which is injecting the last data model selection made which as you are in a conversation is the one from your list page. And Seam injects data model selections after @In injections. Putting @In and @DataModelSelection on the same variable isn't really sensible, try splitting them out to separate variables.
