[akaf47]

The Slack SDK version

slack-bolt==1.18.0
slack-sdk==3.23.0

Python runtime version

Python 3.8.18

OS info

Windows 10 OS

Steps to reproduce:

This behaviour is reproduced only on the Slack android app. Web app and windows app of Slack are working correctly.

Use postman (or similar tool) and make the following 2 posts to method: https://slack.com/api/views.publish

1. Initial post that shows a date picker set to initial option with "text": "Last 3 Days". Works as expected.

{
    "user_id": "xxxxxxx",
    "view": {
        "type": "home",
        "blocks": [
            {
                "type": "section",
                "text": {
                    "type": "mrkdwn",
                    "text": "\ud83d\udc4b *Welcome!*"
                }
            },
            {
                "block_id": "range_date_picker",
                "type": "section",
                "text": {
                    "type": "mrkdwn",
                    "text": "Pick an item from the dropdown list"
                },
                "accessory": {
                    "type": "static_select",
                    "placeholder": {
                        "type": "plain_text",
                        "text": "Select date range",
                        "emoji": true
                    },
                    "options": [
                        {
                            "text": {
                                "type": "plain_text",
                                "text": "Last Day"
                            },
                            "value": "1"
                        },
                        {
                            "text": {
                                "type": "plain_text",
                                "text": "Last 3 Days"
                            },
                            "value": "2"
                        },
                        {
                            "text": {
                                "type": "plain_text",
                                "text": "Last Week"
                            },
                            "value": "3"
                        }
                    ],
                    "initial_option": {
                        "text": {
                            "type": "plain_text",
                            "text": "Last 3 Days"
                        },
                        "value": "2"
                    },
                    "action_id": "demo-time-window-action"
                }
            }
        ]
    }
}

2. Second post should have changed the initial_option to 'Last Week' but it didn't.
