drop down is not retaining value in composite multifield

I am using granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/form/select inside coral multifield.

If I select any value in drop-down and submit the dialog, value is stored in jcr:content  but if I open the dialog again drop-down does not populate stored value.

I am working on AEM 6.3 SP1 Cumulative package 2, coral ui 3 and for multifield I am using acs-commons-3.14

It is working fine on my environment, but it is storing multi-field value is in node structure.  I want to store multi-field value in json format for that we are using acs-common.

When you use granite/coral multifield - you do not need to use ACS-Commons.

See this article - we have a Select field that does hold a value:

Just tested the package in this article and the Select field in the MF is holding the value when you close and re-open the dialog. See the SIZE field. As mentioned in this article - when using the Granite/MF type - you do not need to use ACS-Commons like you do when using the Granite Multifield.
