Issue:
Having a defaultValue prop passed in, makes it a placeholder (color greyed out). As soon as focus is granted to the field, this defaultValue which was passed, disappears and the field is cleared.
<TextField defaultValue={'this will become a placeholder :('}/>
Workaround:
instead of using defaultValue prop, use value prop. Now, whenever user clicks on the field and focus is granted, the defaultValue persists (and even the color is not greyed out)
<TextField value={'this will NOT become a placeholder, but a default value :)'}/>
