Actor Item not updating but the world item will update

Ok, So I feel like I am doing something wrong.. I am using Appv2 for a new system I am designing. I am using the boilerplate v12 setup. I have a selectOptions that looks like this 
<select name="abilityType" class="abilityType">
   {{selectOptions abilityOptions selected=system.abilityTypeValue localize=true}}
 </select>
<select name="abilityType" class="abilityType">
   {{selectOptions abilityOptions selected=system.abilityTypeValue localize=true}}
 </select>
In my Item sheet I have a _onChangeForm that looks like this. 
_onChangeForm(formConfig, event) {
    if (event.target.name === "abilityType") {
      // Do what you need here
      let value = event.target.value;
      this.item.update({ "system.abilityTypeValue": value });
    }
  }
_onChangeForm(formConfig, event) {
    if (event.target.name === "abilityType") {
      // Do what you need here
      let value = event.target.value;
      this.item.update({ "system.abilityTypeValue": value });
    }
  }
The item will change if its a world item but if its on an actors sheet it won't change at all. system.abilityTypeValue is just a string value and abilityOptions is { a: "Species", b: "Character Class", c: "NPC" } Am I doing something wrong?

Hard to say without more context, but is there a reason why you make your own handlers for changes instead of using DocumentSheetV2's built in handler? all you need to do is to have <select name="system.abilityTypeValue" ... and it will update on its own (assuming you also have "submit on change" set to true
