What happened?

When I use shiny.blueprint$HTMLSelect.shinyInput on initial start of my app the input is always NULL initially and then gets set.

This doesn't happen if I use the default shiny$selectInput, this works well with no problems.

In order to avoid errors I have to do a check inside my shiny$reactive if null return default value, else return input value.

# sideBar.R
box::use(shiny)
box::use(shiny.blueprint)

supp_plot_options <- lapply(c("RSI", "MACD", "Volume"), \(opt) {
    return(list(value = opt, label = opt))
})

#' @export
ui <- function(id, width = 2) {
    ns <- shiny$NS(id)
    shiny$sidebarPanel(
        shiny$tags$h4("Side bar"),
        shiny.blueprint$HTMLSelect.shinyInput(
            inputId = ns("select_currency"),
            options = c("BTC/USDT", "XMR/USDT"),
            value = "BTC/USDT"
        ),
        shiny.blueprint$HTMLSelect.shinyInput(
            inputId = ns("supplementary_plot"),
            options = supp_plot_options,
            value = "RSI"
        ),
        width = width
    )
}

#' @export
server <- function(id, live_data) {
    shiny$moduleServer(id, \(input, output, session) {
        supplementary_plot <- shiny$reactive({
            if (is.null(input$supplementary_plot)) {
                return(supp_plot_options[[1]]$value)
            }

            return(input$supplementary_plot)
        })

        shiny::observe(print(input$supplementary_plot))

        currency <- shiny$reactive({
            input$select_currency
        })

        return(list(
            currency = currency,
            supplementary_plot = supplementary_plot
        ))
    })
}

r$> shiny::runApp(
        port = 3003,
        launch.browser = FALSE
    )

And if I don't do the is.null check I get this kind of error. Note I'm trying to use this input for other parts of my app this is why I need the values.

...
        supplementary_plot <- shiny$reactive({
            # if (is.null(input$supplementary_plot)) {
            #     return(supp_plot_options[[1]]$value)
            # }

            return(input$supplementary_plot)
        })
...

r$> shiny::runApp(
        port = 3003,
        launch.browser = FALSE
    )

Steps to reproduce

Use my module in an app that uses the value returned from it.

Expected behavior

I expect the default value to be set by shiny.blueprint value argument.
