IUIKitSurface State does not hold value if initialValue is used in a InputBlock

[Hamza Mohammad]

What?

When I am trying to read a value from IUIKitViewSubmitIncomingInteraction.IUIKitSurface.state:

1. if the value of say a input box is unchanged (it uses initialValue) then I get undefined
2. if the value of input box is altered (changed once from initialValue) I am successfully able to retrieve the value

Steps to reproduce?

1. Create a block
   const block: InputBlock = { type: "input", label: { type: "plain_text", text: labelText, }, element: { type: "plain_text_input", placeholder: { type: "plain_text", text: 'Enter your ID', }, appId: 'app-id, blockId: 'block-id', actionId: 'action-id', initialValue: '12345' }, };

2. Use the above block in UIKitSurfaceType.MODAL

3. Try to retrieve the value of input box in the submit handler:
   const id = data.view.state.'block-id'.'action-id'; // here data is IUIKitViewSubmitIncomingInteraction

4. If you don't change the initialValue of the input box you will get id as undefined, but if you even change a character in it it will work fine

PS

Expectation:

Must get value even if the input box has unchanged initialValue
