Hello, we're having an issue with some fields in slices created using Slice Machine. When we add a slice using the visual editor, many select and boolean fields have a default value, however when the new document is saved (leaving these default values selected and unchanged), the response from the …

Hello, I just wanted to bring to your attention that we are still experiencing the issue.

Hi @louisthomas.pro this has been fixed. Let me know if you are still having problems. Best, Guy
