Hello,
Drop down widget is defaulted to first option even though ng-model is undefined, in case where we bind same value to k-data-value-field and k-data-text-field.
Please have a look on the below sample code where you can find issue. My expectation is drop down should not default when model value is not assigned.
Code:
