Default Custom form in public folder always wants to save changes

I have a problem with a custom form that I've published in a public folder
(contact items) and set as the default (only allowable) form. Every time
you open one of the contacts, regardless of whether you make a change to
the contact, Outlook always asks if you want to Save Changes. I tried
clearing the forms cache but it still does it.

I can open a contact to view it then close it. Save changes pops up.
Doesn't matter if I say yes or no. If I reopen the same contact, it will
go through the exact same process even though no edits were made.

Any thoughts on what's up or how I fix it?

The symptoms suggest that something in the form's design is changing a property value. It could be code behind the form or some odd interaction with a combo box or list box.

I'll check. There is a list box and a radio button group for two custom
fields but they aren't doing anything other than offering the possible
values. There is no code behind the form.

How are the possible values for the list box being set?

Media Release is bound to a keywords field but it looks like it's set up as a single-select list box? That could be part of the problem. A text field would be more appropriate in that scenario.
