Steps to reproduce the issue
I created a module with the following field:
<field name="items" type="subform" formsource="<path>/forms/items.xml" multiple="true" min="1" max="10" groupByFieldset="true" layout="joomla.form.field.subform.repeatable-table" label="users" />
and in the items.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><form><fieldset name="item"><field name="user_id" type="user" label="user" filter="unset" /></fieldset></form>
When selecting a user through the standard control, the user is added to the field. When saving the module instance, the values for each user field are empty again.
Expected result
The selected user value for each item should be saved upon saving the module
Actual result
When saving the module instance, the values for each user field are empty again.
System information (as much as possible)
3.9.12
PHP 7.3
Additional comments
This used to work in previous versions of Joomla

@awdhaan It seems there is some information missing in your description. After the sentence "I created module with the following field" I would expect information about the field, and after the next sentence "and in the items.xml:" I would expect some information about the XML. Can it be that there are 2 screenshots missing?
Thanks. I forgot to quote the xml in the description. It's now in there.
You need to change unset filter to something else. unset removes the value. This didn't happen before because until 3.9.7 subform did not support filtering and validation.
