Facing a weird issue. I have an input field in my react app. I am setting the value of my input field using the defaultValue prop. But my input field is not populating. Its showing as empty ( "" ). But i can see the value in its value attribute in the dom. enter image description here

Here are the react props of that input

enter image description here

Any idea what i am missing here?

You could use defaultValue only on uncontrolled components, but your input have onChange prop, and that makes it controlled. You should set your default value through the value prop.

https://reactjs.org/docs/uncontrolled-components.html - here some info about it.
