Is the field in question a "number" field?

Are you using the Separation Model?  SELF doesn't work very well in the UI file; in fact, it may "?" your field because SELF will not resolve correctly.  Best bet, if this auto-enter calculation is appropriate for the field in question, is to use the field's name iinstead of "SELF".
