    'report' => $report,
    'page' => $page,
    'perPage' => $perPage
];

return $this->view(getName(), 'newpage_template_view', $viewParams);

Template newpage_template_view

<div class="block">
    <div class="block-container">
        {{$report.test}}
        <xf:form action="{{ link('testpage/update', $report) }}" ajax="true">
            <div class="block-body">

1. You're dumping the data as raw text. Raw text won't be sent in a post request, only data from inputs. You'll have to put into a hiddenval-tag if you want to send it back to the server.
2. Your data is outside of the form. Only inputs inside the form will be sent on submit.

Where is my data outside of the form?

i have look into 'report_view' template and it does the same

<xf:form action="{{ link('reports/update', $report) }}" ajax="true" draft="{{ link('reports/draft', $report) }}">           
    ..........
    <div class="js-handleToggle{{ !$assignedToOther ? ' is-active' : '' }}">
        <xf:submitrow icon="save" />
    </div>
</xf:form>
