Default swatch value returns as null

[gateszies]

We're experiencing a bug with this plugin where the selected default value is not actually defining anything by default.

Our Colour Swatch field has the default swatch selected as indicated with the checkmark.

The default swatch is also indicated by the highlighted option on the entry that uses the field.

When we load the page, however, we are getting an error that indicates the field value is null. This is confirmed by dumping the value of the field on a blank page which also returns null.

If you interact with the field and select a color, everything works as intended. But the field must be interacted with, making the default option not functional. The selected default swatch option should pass through the value of the swatch without the user needing to interact with the field and select a swatch.

We are currently running on Craft 4.4.7.1 and Colour Swatch 4.3.0.

@gateszies thank you for reporting this bug, sorry you've had to wait for answers. This will be fixed in the next release

Thanks so much @cookie10codes!

Any ETA on this fix getting in? This is still an issue on v4.3.0 and prevents Colour Swatches fields from being required and saved as-is in a field layout.

hi @turnstylerj , sorry to get back so late on this issue. We recently took over the plugins and we're planning some development work. We will take this issue prior on our task list
