This is because you added the text entry component outside the form container, and so it picks up the column value from the table row that the parent screen is attached to - which is the first row in your table.

If you need to change the form button labels, then your only option might be to use a [Custom Form](https://community.glideapps.com/t/how-do-i-create-a-custom-form/25014).
