Default values from parent properties in nested components are not used until the component is first edited

Fixed Bugs

Description:

As mentioned here:

Testing the beta confirmed this behaviour. The value is applied, but only after it is first edited, either from the nested component or the parent component. Initially no value is shown.

Step-by-step reproduction instructions:

  1. Open the Post Editor/Site Editor
  2. Add a component containing a div
  3. Create a text property for it called “Rabbit” with a default value
  4. Add a nested component containing a heading
  5. Create a text property for it called “Hole” with no default value
  6. Connect the “Hole” property to the content of the Heading
  7. Connect the parent “Rabbit” property to the “Hole” property
  8. Note that the default value is not propagated to the content of the heading

  • WordPress version: 6.2.2
