P-dropdown initial value not set inside custom component.

[jonnyknowsbest]

I have created a custom component containing a p-dropdown, that implements the ControlValueAccessor interface so I can use it on a reactive form by passing in the formControlName like so:

Code: Select all

<my-component options="options" optionLabel="description" formControlName="priority"></my-component>

Although changing the value in the dropdown causes the correct value to propagate up from the custom component to the form, the initial value in the drop down is not set and instead it just shows the first value in the list.

What property do i need to set on the p-dropdown to set the initial value?

So is there no built-in way to set the initial value of a drop-down when it is inside a custom component on a reactive form without using ngModel?

maybe a related problem, but I'm using a dropdown inside a custom control, but event "onChange" is not propagated correctly ... I have other custom controls implementing ControlValueAccessor with no problems, but using "onChange" on dropdown and calling the "onChange" from ControlValueAccessor no controls are getting notified about the changes, other primeng controls in the same custom control are working good.

Theres a way to make dropdown work with ControlValueAccessor ?
