DataFormTextItem shows initial value and watermark superimposed

[George DAlessio]

I can bind the values of the dataform items to the viewmodel but it's displaying both the value and the watermak  at the same time. How can I avoid displaying the watermark when a value is not null? 

 <dataForm:SfDataForm Grid.Row="0" x:Name="dataForm" AutoGenerateItems="False" PropertyChanged="DataForm_OnPropertyChanged"   LayoutOptions="TextInputLayout" ShowHelperText="False" NotifyPropertyChanges="True" ValidationMode="LostFocus" >

                <dataForm:SfDataForm.Items>

                    <dataForm:DataFormTextItem Name="Title" Editor="Text" />

                    <dataForm:DataFormTextItem Name="City" Editor="Text" />

                    <dataForm:DataFormDateItem Name="Date" Editor="Date" />

                    <dataForm:DataFormTextItem Name="Notes" Editor="MultilineText" Height="Auto"/>

                </dataForm:SfDataForm.Items>

            </dataForm:SfDataForm>

I will try to recreate my scenario by modifying your sample. It will take me some time as my app is very different from your sample. 

 Thanks for your reply.
