Issue with TextField and Mask in Flutter: Characters Deleted when Editing

I'm facing a problem that has left me a bit puzzled and I would greatly appreciate your help in resolving it. I'm working on a Flutter project and using TextField widgets with masks. The issue I'm encountering is that when I set an initial value for the field and try to edit it, all the characters get deleted, which is not the expected behavior.

Problem Details:

  • I'm using TextField widgets with a mask to format data input.

  • I've set an initial value that matches the mask.

  • When attempting to edit the field, all characters get deleted, which shouldn't happen.

What I'm Looking For:

  • Any tips, guidance, or suggestions that can help me understand and rectify this unexpected behavior.

  • If anyone has faced a similar issue or has experience with TextField and masks in Flutter.

I would greatly appreciate it if someone could share their experiences or knowledge about this problem. Any information or insights will be immensely helpful to me and to other community members who might be facing similar challenges.
