Everytime I make a change to a FB and download it I lose all the values that have been entered in through the HMI. With the S7-200 when you went to download you could uncheck data block and all your entered values would remain unchanged. How do you do this with the s7-1200s.

Keep in mind that by default data in DB are not retentive. You must check option for retentivity. Also please upgrade firmware of PLC because it has some issues with DB data. Look here http://support.automation.siemens.com/WW/view/en/34612486/133100 and choose appropriate PLC.
	Best regards, Darius

Mr.Wizard indicates a FAQ that shows to you how to actualise the offline DB values wiht the online values (to be done before the donwload).

I think this is not the case for technology objects because you can upload these after optimizing into your project...
