Problem/Motivation

If you try to create a node with experience builder field on it you get this error

TypeError: Cannot assign null to property Drupal\experience_builder\Plugin\DataType\ComponentTreeStructure::$value of type string in Drupal\experience_builder\Plugin\DataType\ComponentTreeStructure->setValue() (line 50 of modules/experience_builder/src/Plugin/DataType/ComponentTreeStructure.php).

Steps to reproduce

This happens for field with or without the default value set. For 1 content type I checked "Set default value" but did not check any of the values underneath this. For another content type I did not check this.

The error is not thrown for articles with the field_xb_demo on them. If I try to use the same values as field_xb_demo through the UI I am only able to set the tree value, the props is disabled and I still get the error

The same error happens when you try to edit the field

Proposed resolution

ensure it is possible to create a field through the UI.
