I was having the same issue with the lookuppopup. I think I finally found the answer (at least it works so far). I changed the order of execution for the Load event for the page. The order generated by the CRUD template has it doing the lookup for the lookuppopup last. I moved it to the top so that the lookup for the lookuppopup is done before it loads the record to be edited. The code that gets the record to be edited sets the property for what the lookuppopup should have selected but it occurs before the lookuppopup has been populated so there was nothing to select. Hope this helps.
