Thanks, I got it figured out as far as text fields keeping content when editing.

I changed the start of my bbp_applications_fields to the following (in case anyone comes accross this thread):

function bbp_application_fields() {
	$forum_id = bbp_get_forum_id();
	$application_forum_id = 34;
	$topic_id = bbp_get_topic_id();
	$topic_edit_id = bbp_get_topic_forum_id( $topic_id );
	if( $forum_id == $application_forum_id || $topic_edit_id == $application_forum_id ) {

My select fields still don’t retain their content when editing, but I suspect that’s due to some jQuery I’m using to show/hide certain options based on other select boxes.

**EDIT**
It looks like none of the select fields come back with their saved value, just whatever the starter value is. I’ll keep playing around with it.
