Minimal code example

class FormBuilderNumericField extends FormBuilderFieldDecoration<double> {
 
  FormBuilderNumericField({
    super.key,
    required super.name,
    super.validator,
    super.onChanged,
    double? initialValue,
  }) : super(
    builder: (FormFieldState<double?> field) {
      final state = field as _FormBuilderNumericFieldState;

      return NumericField(
        value: initialValue,
        onChanged: (newValue) {
          if(onChanged != null) {
            onChanged(newValue);
          }
          state.didChange(newValue);
        }
      );
    }
  );

  @override
  FormBuilderFieldDecorationState<FormBuilderNumericField, double> createState() => _FormBuilderNumericFieldState();
}

class _FormBuilderNumericFieldState extends FormBuilderFieldDecorationState<FormBuilderNumericField, double> {
}

Current Behavior

exception in form_builder_field.dart: type 'String' is not a subtype of type 'double?' in type cast

Expected Behavior

I wrote my own field which gives me a double. That all works too. However, if I don't set "initialValue" (=null), I get the following exception in form_builder_field.dart: type 'String' is not a subtype of type 'double?' in type cast

This is the line:

T? get initialValue =>
      widget.initialValue ??
      (_formBuilderState?.initialValue ??
          const <String, dynamic>{})[widget.name] as T?;

Steps To Reproduce

Use the small snippet of my code.
