Editor value cannot be reset manually when used in Angular Forms

[mbechev]

Describe the bug
The value of the Editor cannot be reset multiple times when used in a Reactive and Template driven Form.

Trying to set an empty string through the built-in Form methods (setValue, patchValue), the Editor values don't seem to reflect the changes and cannot be reset.

Template driven:

To Reproduce
Reactive - https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-qlotxv-dsak9w
Template driven - https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-x8uhrs-nns2sc?file=src%2Fapp%2Fapp.component.ts

1. Clear the initial value with the button.
2. Type in the Editor.
3. Clear the new value with the button.

If setting any truthy value through the Form methods, the Editor behaves as expected.

Actually truthy values does not work as well. Here is an example:
https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-fusva7?file=src%2Fapp%2Fapp.component.ts

Press Load do some editing, then press Load again. The value in the editor remains the edited one and is not set to the one that is patched/resetted in the form.

Got the same issue for the editor component.
Managed to fix using workaround: to empty the editor you need to implement a rotation of empty values (ex. '', ' ') and when you empty the value, use one of those sequentially.

Hope for fix in the nearest future

Same here, unable to set empty string as editor value, after an http post operation. Hope for fix in the nearest future.

I am also getting issues while setting empty values to the Kendo editor and in validations. please solve this issue on priority.make it compatible with form controls.

I also experience this bug. Hopefully it gets fixed soon.
In the meantime, reseting and setting the value again does the job for me.
(Angular 16/17, Kendo 14.1)
