radio buttons initial option isn't updating on first load

Description

I allow users to create another radio button option with a modal. When they submit that modal I want to add their new option to the radio buttons and set that new option as the initial option.

The new radio button does not pop up as selected even though I’m passing it as the initial option until I refresh the home page a 2nd time.

@srajiang someone on the Slack API workspace seems to have solved it! https://community.slack.com/archives/C02C28Z3XA7/p1652815757214569

“This is the default/expected behavior - the client will keep the user’s input if they have made a selection on an element, even if you update the options/initial_option. As long as the block_id is not changed”

In your examples were you setting a block id or was it random every time? I was setting my block id and never changing it.

@srajiang @ben-nz I’m still running into this (what I assume is caching issue) in more situations and it’s quite annoying.

the block is defined as having initial value: ‘🙂, 😐, 🙁’

But it shows ‘Custom Multiple Choice’

This issue is appearing after another view is pushed on top of this one and then submitted so the modal is going back to this view and the intial_option is passed correctly but not showing correctly.
