I had this exact issue. The only way I found to solve it was by actually setting it to the correct value 😕 it's a bit horrible.. I posted about it, can't remember if I got any hits at the time. But the expressions in my instances that used my initial values didnt seem to always re-evaluate from the initial value I'd set. It would maybe 70% of the time
