Describe the issue you are experiencing

Hi, I have a ConfigFlow with a section inside that contains a SelectSelectorConfig.
When I select an item and save the changes, when I reopen the configuration, the data that was selected is no longer selected (even though this was actually saved correctly).

Describe the behavior you expected

Steps to reproduce the issue

Here is an example of the saved data (including 2 BooleanSelectors).
As you can see when you reopen the config flow, the BooleanSelectors keep the selected values ​​while the SelectSelectorConfig does not.

Can you share the code of your config flow that's exhibiting this problem?

Hi, thanks for the quick reply; I created a configuration flow that reproduces the problem, let me know if you need anything else.

So I tried this out w/ kitchen_sink integration (a dummy/testing integration), and I couldn't find a problem.

If I run options flow and select a value in the selector, and save, and run options flow again, the previously selected item is populated.

If you have a core dev environment, do you want to try running this PR (home-assistant/core#129503), and see if it's working as you would expect? Maybe you can compare the code difference between the two to see if anything is missing.

I don't see anything obviously wrong in your code, but I am not an expert in config flows.

Hi, I can't do this kind of test at the moment, because I don't have a development environment.
I'll try to put it up as soon as I have some time
Thanks for looking anyway!

The working solution is given in #22419. PR to fix documentation: home-assistant/developers.home-assistant#2454
