Answer 1

Your button type for "Create" is set to "reset":

<div class="form-group">
   <input id="BtnLogin" type="submit" class="btn btn-success btn-pressure" name="BtnLogin" value="Login" />
   <input id="BtnReset" type="reset" value="Create" class="btn btn-info btn-pressure" name="BtnReset" value="Reset" />
</div>

As per W3Schools, this will reset the form to its initial values: https://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_button_type.asp

• button: The button is a clickable button
• submit: The button is a submit button (submits form-data)
• reset: The button is a reset button (resets the form-data to its initial values)

Example: https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_button_type

If you want the "Create" button to send back the form to your controller, I suggest you try changing the button type to "Submit"
