UITextArea :: changing the text programmatically does not work consistently

[fls-indinf]

Hi JVx-Engineering Team!

On the following workscreen:

public class SimpleWorkScreen extends DataSourceWorkScreen {

  public SimpleWorkScreen(IWorkScreenApplication pApplication, AbstractConnection pConnection) throws Throwable {
    super(pApplication, pConnection, null);

    setLayout(new UIFlowLayout());

    var area = new UITextArea("init text");
    add(area);

    var button = new UIButton("setText", () -> area.setText("something else"));
    add(button);
  }
}

When pressing the setText -Button, the text in the textarea will not update, even tho the response of the pressButton does contain it correctly:

[
    {
        "componentId": "WS1",
        "changedComponents": [
            {
                "id": "TA159",
                "text": "something else"
            }
        ],
        "name": "screen.generic",
        "update": true,
        "home": false
    }
]

As our team analyzed it, the problem seems to be the 'copying' of just the initial state.

/** Current state of the textarea value */    
const [text, setText] = useState(props.text || ""); 

For cross-checking, adding a hook to react to changes of the properties seems to do the trick.

useEffect(() => {        
  setText(props.text ?? "");    
}, [props.text]); 

Is this a viable solution for this?

Thank you for your support.

This seems to also affect the UIText component.
