Bean value not updated with Ajax - ajax

Question

I have a PopupPanel with a form inside. The form has been previously rendered by ajax, so by some issue / bug with richfaces, I am forced to put the a4j:commandButton outside the form, with an execute attribute.
When I hit the button, it calls the server but the bean value is not updated.
Any suggestion?
Simplied code of my form:
<rich:popupPanel id="workOrderPopup" modal="true" resizeable="true"
onmaskclick="#{rich:component('workOrderPopup')}.hide()" width="750" height="420">
<h:form id="editWorkOrderForm" onkeypress="if (event.keyCode == 13) { document.getElementById('workOrderEdition:saveWO').click(); return false; }">
[[[FORM FIELDS]]]
</h:form>
<a4j:commandButton id="createWO" value="Guardar" action="#{ticketCont.saveWorkOrder()}"
render="workOrders,footer" execute="editWorkOrderForm" oncomplete="#{rich:component('workOrderPopup')}.hide()"/>
</rich:popupPanel>
Complete code of my form:
<rich:popupPanel id="workOrderPopup" modal="true" resizeable="true"
onmaskclick="#{rich:component('workOrderPopup')}.hide()" width="750" height="420">

i think problem is not in this code but problem from other click your editWorkOrderForm is render for that your from is not working...
for that you can do like that..
<rich:popupPanel id="workOrderPopup" modal="true" resizeable="true"
onmaskclick="#{rich:component('workOrderPopup')}.hide()" width="750" height="420">
<h:form id="editWorkOrderForm" onkeypress="if (event.keyCode == 13) { document.getElementById('workOrderEdition:saveWO').click(); return false; }">
<a4j:outputpanal id="editWorkOrderPanal">
<table width="100%" id="editWorkOrderTable">
<tr>
<td>
<h:outputText value="ID" for="editedWOId"/><br/>
<h:inputText value="#{ticketCont.workOrder.id}" id="editedWOId" readonly="true" size="7"/>
</td>
<td>
<h:outputText value="Descripción" for="editedWODescription"/><br/>
<h:inputText value="#{ticketCont.workOrder.description}" id="editedWODescription"/>
</td>
<td>
<h:outputText value="Estado" for="editedWOState"/><br/>
<h:selectOneListbox value="#{ticketCont.workOrder.status}">
<f:selectItem itemLabel="Abierto" itemValue="0"/>
<f:selectItem itemLabel="Cerrado" itemValue="1"/>
</h:selectOneListbox>
</td>
<td>
<h:outputText value="Tiempo (en horas)" for="editedWOTime"/><br/>
<rich:inputNumberSpinner value="#{ticketCont.workOrder.workHours}" inputSize="4"/>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="4">
<div align="center">
<h:outputText value="Recursos" for="editedWOResources"/><br/>
<rich:pickList value="#{ticketCont.workOrder.resources}" var="_resource" listHeight="200px" id="editedWOResources">
<f:selectItems value="#{ticketCont.activeResources}"/>
<f:converter converterId="es.caib.gesma.gesman.data.converter.ResourceConverter" />
<rich:column>
#{_resource.name}
</rich:column>
</rich:pickList>
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<a4j:commandButton id="createWO" value="Guardar" action="#{ticketCont.saveWorkOrder()}"
render="workOrders,footer" oncomplete="#{rich:component('workOrderPopup')}.hide()"/>
