initialtext and controller ignored

[mauricev]

I just get blank when assigning either the initialtext or a controller with its own initial text

This problem seems to be intermittent.

Old thread but for anyone else I am also experiencing this, managed to hack around it by storing the initial value in my ultimate to-be saved object so it isn't list on save, and using the hint text for display purposes, not ideal, but when is it ever!
