save as draft functionality not working as expected in catalog item

When a catalog request is saved as draft, on the draft record few conditionally dependent variables are hidden even when they are made visible on normal request form and few variable values are cleared. Please let me know if this can be solved without disturbing existing scripts.

Hi @Dr Atul G- LNG , thanks for the reply.
However, I've gone through the 2nd link, but I didn't find any solution related to my scenario.
But in the 1st link, I've found a solution that is to change value action of ui policy from "clear value" to "leave alone". If I implement this, then that would be an issue for other behaviors which run based on the ui policy. Also, in my scenario there are client scripts to clear value of variables as well. So could you please let me know if there's any solution without changing existing behavior. Thanks

Hi @sln 

No, mate, there’s no solution at the moment because of the script, as I mentioned in my last reply as well. It’s better to log a new support case and see if the team can assist."

Hi @Dr Atul G- LNG 

But not just ui policies, there are client scripts that are clearing values of variables as well. 
Also is there any way to solve the variables being hidden on the draft record issue. Thanks in advance.
