Default values no longer populating on create

[Bob]

After upgrading to UI for ASPNET MVC 2019.2.619, default values defined in the grid's datasource section are no longer populating. This was working in a previous version.  Now when clicking the new button, the fields are blank.  Below is just an example.  No code was changed from the previous version.  This is for pop-up editing with a template.  Any help would be appreciated.

 

.Model(model =>
 {
     model.Id(m => m.TruckKey);
     model.Field(f => f.DriverName).DefaultValue("Driver Name");
 })

Apparently this is a known issue with this release:

Hi Bob,

It is correct that the default value does not get applied with the latest version - 2019.2.619. This is a regression introduced in the data source which indirectly affect the grid. 

As a temporary solution, I can suggest that you either download the latest internal build or revert back to the 2019.2.514 version where the issue is not present. 

Alternatively, you can opt for upgrading to the latest version next week, when an official release would take place.
