Steps to reproduce:

Actual results:

historical value from the page shows in the input box, different from source "value" attribute. this happens for many users at our company.

Expected results:

same value as the source "value" attribute should be displayed in the box, no automatic value replacement should happen

I think this is duplicate of bug 46845.
If you do "ctl/shift-reload", the default value will be displayed.
