Describe the bug
I have a table with a row actions to open a side panel and update field value of a form inside the side panel.
From the video below you can see that when the side panel opens for the first time, the field value is not updated.
When I click on another row while the side panel is opened, the value is updated.
Is there any workaround for this?

Expected behavior
To populate the form values on initial opening.

BUDI-9117 Update field value when opening side panel not working

Hey @alx-ppv - thanks for raising this. I've looked into it myself and built an app-export with a recreation of the issue. I'll add some more context here for any engineers that look into this.

On Click Actions-export-1741689957163.tar.gz

In the side-panel, if the setting "Ignore clicks outside" is set to true, clicking once will open the side-panel, and clicking again will then populate the field-values as expected.

In the modal, the same issue persists, but the open modal seems to reject any clicks on anything outside of the modal at all, so it is not possible use the same workaround.
