StringTextInput discards original ID values, replaces with different values

I use custom ID values for each record in my database.  StringTextInput discards these ID values and the ID attribute name and inserts its own attribute name and Id value.

Is there a way to keep my original ID values?  I notice the new ID values do not match the original records and I can not match my records to cluster results.  See step 3 in the screen capture to see how these change.
