Description
A model using Refactor Fields algorithm is expected to have two inputs:
1) Input Layer
2) Fields Mapper
When running such model and setting an input layer, the Source Expression in the Fields Mapper widget never gets a layer set. Therefore, users cannot choose among input layer fields nor use "Fields and Values" section in the Expression builder dialog.

I've discovered a few strange things there:
1) Modeler seems to force parameter names to lowercase, which doesn't seem the case of other Processing algorithms.
2) In the FieldsMappingWidgetWrapper (https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/blob/3c7f7454245d63ecd04f092a5c698becf1a233dc/python/plugins/processing/algs/qgis/ui/FieldsMappingPanel.py#L482) this comparison is made:
wrapper.param.name() == self.param.parentLayerParameter()
A quick check of my model parameters, like:
alg = QgsApplication.processingRegistry().algorithmById("model:mymodel")
for p in alg.parameterDefinitions():
print("parameter name", p.name())
if type(p) == processing.algs.qgis.FieldsMapper.FieldsMapper.ParameterFieldsMapping:
print("...parent layer paremeter",p.parentLayerParameter())
allows me to know that my input parameter and the parentLayerParameter will never match because my model parameters are in lowercase, whereas the RefactorFields input is uppercase (it is 'INPUT').
3) If I edit the .model3 file and give my parameter the name 'INPUT' (uppercase), the whole issue is gone. The problem is saving in the Processing modeler.
I attach two models:
+ A working model (model_etl_ladm_col.model3)
+ A non-working model (model_etl_ladm_col_.model3)#2

- Subject changed from Malfunction using Refactor Fields algorithm in Processing models to Field Mapper parameters cannot have parent layer set in models
Root cause is that when using a field mapper parameter in model, there's currently no way to set the associated parent layer parameter

I confirm this is still happening in current master (v3.7).
