plain_text_input default_value is not populating on iOS

[williamlmao]

You can see from the screenshots below I am viewing the same exact message. Light mode is on iOS mobile, and dark mode is on desktop.

The comment on mobile shows up as empty. Even if I click on it, the text does not show. The odd thing is the data is still there, because if I hit submit, it sends the data through still and works as if the comment was there.

(Filling out the following with as much detail as you can provide will help us solve your issue sooner.)

@slack/bolt version: "@slack/bolt": "^4.2.0",

Your App and Receiver Configuration

export const slackApp = new App({
token: process.env.SLACK_BOT_TOKEN,
signingSecret: process.env.SLACK_SIGNING_SECRET,
socketMode: true,
appToken: process.env.SLACK_APP_TOKEN,
});

Node.js runtime version

v23.5.0

Steps to reproduce:

• Send a message (in thread), setting the initial_value of a plain_text_input. Check it on desktop, then check the same message on mobile.

@zimeg can we reopen this? It still looks like this is an issue - kind of a big one. Thanks!

@williamlmao Sure thing! I'm also noticing the default text shows in the initial message but disappears on selection - I'll check back with the team on this 🙏
