Inconsistency with dropdowns displaying values in gridview - asp.net

Question

I'm having a problem with my dropdown lists in my child gridview displaying values. For whatever reason the first dropdown in the row works fine and displays the values from the database, the other ones don't display anything.
Below is the code for my gridviews:
<asp:GridView ID="GVAccounts" runat="server" AutoGenerateColumns="False"
CellPadding="4" ForeColor="#333333"
GridLines="Horizontal"
style="position: relative; margin-top: 10px">
<AlternatingRowStyle BackColor="White" ForeColor="#284775" />
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField DataField="branch" HeaderText="Branch"
SortExpression="branch" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="no" HeaderText="Account"
SortExpression="account" />
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Name" SortExpression="name">
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="TextName" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("name") %>'></asp:TextBox>
</EditItemTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="LabelName" runat="server" Text='<%# Eval("name") + " " + Eval("surname") %>'></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:BoundField DataField="type" HeaderText="Type" SortExpression="type" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="sub" HeaderText="Sub" SortExpression="sub" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="TotalAmount" HeaderText="Hold"
SortExpression="TotalAmount" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="loc" HeaderText="LOC" DataFormatString="{0:C}" SortExpression="loc" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="locstatus" HeaderText="LOC status"
SortExpression="locstatus" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="HoldCalc" HeaderText="OD/EX Amt" SortExpression="HoldCalc" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="odtimes" HeaderText="#OD" SortExpression="odtimes" />
<asp:TemplateField>

Below is the method that is having the issue with displaying:

Edit: I should also note that when I step through the code I see that the dropdowns do in fact have values, yet nothing is being displayed for them on the gridview, I'm stumped.

Answer 1

Updated answer
I would compare drop down lists "note" and "note1"
e.g. note works but note1 doesn't.
The difference I can see between the 2 is that note has an empty list item. Try adding an empty list item to note 1.
Failing that, copy the working code from note and gradually replace it with the values from Note1, checking if/when it fails.
