Default value provided not working in type ahead search card when used in messaging extension

[shubham-betterworks]

Steps to reproduce:

1. Clone https://github.com/OfficeDev/Microsoft-Teams-Samples/tree/main/samples/bot-type-ahead-search-adaptive-cards/nodejs.
2. Add messaging extension command in manifest.json

   "composeExtensions": [
   {
       "botId": "{{Microsoft-App-Id}}",
       "commands": [
           {
               "id": "dynamicsearch",
               "type": "action",
               "title": "Dynamic Search",
               "description": "Dynamic Search",
               "initialRun": false,
               "fetchTask": true,
               "context": [
                   "compose"
               ]
           }
       ]
   }
   ],

3. Add the following messaging extension invoke handler in TeamsBot

   handleTeamsMessagingExtensionFetchTask(context, action) {
   const card = CardFactory.adaptiveCard(this.adaptiveCardForDyanamicSearch());
   
   return {
     task: {
       type: "continue",
       value: {
         card,
       },
     },
   };
   }

4. In onInvokeActivity method change last line return null with return super.onInvokeActivity(context);
5. Add "value": "static_option_1", in Input.ChoiceSet component of adaptiveCardForDyanamicSearch
6. Start up the bot service

Actual Behaviour

When you open the messaging extension task module the input component renders Static Option 1 as a placeholder

Expected behaviour

When you open the messaging extension task module the input component should have Static Option 1 as the default value.

This above default value works fine when you send this same adaptive card in chat instead of task module and input component is rendered with the value Static Option 1

We are looking into this issue, we will get back to you.

We tried this at our end, and we see the following behavior -

Adaptive card in chat - Works fine

Messaging extension - It says 1 item selected but when expanded the item is not selected

Could you confirm if you are seeing it as 1 item selected or a placeholder value within messaging extension.

[shubham-betterworks]

Yes in case we set isMultiSelect to true we get a placeholder stating 1 item(s) selected but the value is not selected and checkbox is untick

[Meghana-MSFT]

Thank you for the confirmation, we will check internally and get back to you.

@Meghana-MSFT any updates?

[Meghana-MSFT]

@shubham-betterworks - Apologies for the delay in response, A bug has been raised for the same. We will keep you posted on the updates.

[Meghana-MSFT]

Could you please share the below details as the engineering teams needs this information -

How did the customer initiate the ME flow? From engineering team's investigation, as long as the bot is added to a team or chat, and initiated the expected way, the ME works.

[shubham-betterworks]

Add the bot --> Go to the chat window with the bot --> Initiate the messaging extension command --> Search and select multiple options

ME pop-up opens but the issue here is that the default value provided is treated as a placeholder and not prefilled value for input

Hello @shubham-betterworks - Sorry for delay in response. It would be better if you can share a short video for your issue.

[shubham-betterworks]

@ChetanSharma-msft will share it ASAP

[Meghana-MSFT]

@shubham-betterworks - For the issue with default choices not being showed, engineering team is investigating. We will keep you posted.

[shubham-betterworks]

@ChetanSharma-msft @Meghana-MSFT When a default value is provided in the input.choiceset field with dynamic search functionality enabled in the adaptive card the messaging extension treats it as a placeholder and not an actual input value whereas the same card works fine when sent as a message from a bot in the chat
