select bound to a variable wont show the right option

I have a select where I have bound the value to a variable. However, after a reload, this select no longer shows the correct value but always falls back to the first option. I checked everything, the variable or value is set correctly. There seems to be a timing issue with the select as it works fine with text bound to the same variable. Unfortunately I can't think of any way to solve the problem (in Nordcraft) anymore.

I can help! This is a common timing issue where the select element renders before its options are fully populated, so it can't match your bound value and defaults to the first option.
Quick question: Are the options in your select being loaded asynchronously (like from an API or database), or are they static/hardcoded in your template?

The options are static

Since the options are static, this is likely a binding initialization order issue in Nordcraft. The select might be rendering before the data binding fully initializes after reload.
I'd be happy to help you resolve this - I've dealt with similar timing issues before. Would you be open to discussing this privately? I can take a closer look at your specific setup and get this fixed for you. I'm available for hire if you need dedicated help with this and any other Nordcraft issues you're working on.

@Marcel did you resolve your issue? It would be great if you could share a minimal reproduction of this in a public project we can check 🤞
