Martin,

Since this is not a stand-alone example, we can't run it here and
modify it to do the right thing. But it looks to me like you need to
set the value of companyStatus to the "default value" if empty, maybe
after the call to the XPL that returns the instance that contains
companyStatus.

I hope this helps; otherwise, could you provide a stand-alone, minimal
example, that runs in the XForms sandbox and that shows this issue?
