Changing the name of a form field via Syncfusion's pop-up UI isn't saved

Question

I'm using Syncfusion Blazor and I have the following on my page. It loads a Word document with existing form fields already on it and when I double click on it Syncfusion will show a dialog where I can change the name of form field. However, this name isn't actually saved because when I get all of the form names via GetFormFieldNamesAsync(), it still shows the old name. Now, if I check the name via the pop-up UI again, it will show the new name. However, if I change some other form fields via the pop-up UI and then go back to that original form field, the name reverted back to it's original name. This can also be observed in the online demos -- insert some form fields and trying change some of them, going back and checking the prior ones you saved after setting some others. You'll see in the online demo that the new name isn't changed.

Unfortunately, there isn't a way to prevent the pop-up UI from showing when double click on a form field in unprotected mode. So it's confusing to users when their name change doesn't stick.

Thanks in advance for any help here.

@code{
    private async void OnCreated()

    {
        using (System.IO.FileStream fileStream = new System.IO.FileStream(documentPath, System.IO.FileMode.Open, System.IO.FileAccess.Read))
        {
            WordDocument document = WordDocument.Load(fileStream, ImportFormatType.Docx);
            await container.DocumentEditor.OpenAsync(System.Text.Json.JsonSerializer.Serialize(document));
            document.Dispose();
        }
    }

    private async void OnContentChanged()
    {
        var changedFields = await container.DocumentEditor.GetFormFieldNamesAsync();

        foreach (var field in changedFields)
        {
          Console.WriteLine(field);
        }
    }
}

“Inclusion of this solution in the weekly release may change due to other
factors including but not limited to QA checks and works reprioritization.” Root cause: The
modified value in the text box in UI is not bound with the property. Use the
“@bind-value” attribute to bind the value and the property instead of using the
"Value" attribute, so that the value is updated both in UI and in
property.
