I have a model with multiple fields in a .net core web app.

The model is bound to a view, which uses asp-for tag helpers to render hidden inputs, text inputs, select lists and a text area.

The issue..

On posting to the server, all inputs are bound correctly, except the text area. This is always coming through as null.

Even more strangely, if I assign a value to the text area property before rendering the view, the value displays in the text area as expected (not the strange bit), and when posted to the server, the value is posted back. If I try and change the value however, the original one is still picked up in the model binding, despite Chrome showing in the network tools that the new value was what was posted.

Has anyone else experienced anything like this? Am I being an idiot (again)?

A sub set of my code below:

Render View:

```
public IActionResult Review()
{
    var requestVm = new Request();

    requestVm.AdditionalComments = "This was set in the model before rendering the view and should be overwritten.";
    return View(requestVm);
}

```

Html:

```
@model Models.Request
<form asp-controller="Request" asp-action="Review" method="post" role="form" enctype="multipart/form-data" class="ui form review">
<textarea asp-for="AdditionalComments" class="AdditionalComments"></textarea>
</form>

```

Post Action:

```
[HttpPost]
public IActionResult Review(Request requestVm)
{
    // Some logic in here to save to db etc..
    return RedirectToAction("Thank_You");
}

```

As you can see, nothing special going on there.

Any help appreciated.
