Textareas on character sheets all blank

After logging in today, all text in every textarea field on all character sheets has disappeared.  The textarea fields are now all blank, and upon typing anything into them, after closing and re-opening the sheet, the field is blank again. This is only affecting one of my games, but this is a MAJOR impediment as I have now lost hours of work with no way to get anything back apparently. Is anyone else experiencing this issue?  Any insight?  This is a custom character sheet (all my other games are sheets in the roll20 compendium), but it has been working fine for weeks until I checked today.

Does the sheet code have attribute names for the text inputs? ie name="attr_foo"
Yes, it does.  I just discovered it's also affecting some text type input fields as one.  Not all of them, just certain ones.  I don't understand what could have changed between last week and now, but this is really frustrating as I've lost a ton of work and can't even re-do it.

The only thing I would know that causes this would be lacking the attribute as Vince posted.  The other possibility would be if the attribute names changed.  If these text areas are in repeating sections, they would all disappear from the sheet if the attribute name or the repeating section name changed in the code.  The data would all still exist under the original repeating section and attribute name, but would only be accessible by macro unless the names get changed back to match the original.
Well I don't understand how that could be; the code hasn't changed, and everything worked fine for weeks until yesterday.
Actually, checking again, some of them have the name attribute, some don't.  But it's affecting all textareas regardless of whether they have names or not.  And updating the input fields where this is happening to have an attribute name does not solve the issue.

Without seeing the code you are using, there is no way for people to tell.
....I am an idiot and didn't save the changes after I put in the attr_name tag on those fields.  After putting names on all those fields, and actually saving the changes this time, everything is working. Thank you for the help!!
