Hi,
I encountered an issue which is a blast from the past as I had the very same issue many versions ago. When I input text in a column (first names in that case), I lose them after i re-open my .omv file. I use jamovi 1.1.5.
Other columns with numeric data are fine. I join the incriminated file, hope it will help.
Have a nice day.

Re: Loss of text data after re-opening an .omv file.
ah! great catch!
the issue is the international characters. the string table (which is what is used by the ID variables) are written using the length of the character strings, but it fails to consider that international characters can take up multiple bytes.
easy fix, and very glad to have this brought to our attention.
will be fixed in the 1.1.6
with thanks
