Preset value in Editor widget in a JS app using the setValue

I have this simple JS app and trying to preset the value of a field. On this example is the Phone Number field but I want to know what am I doing wrong and I can't preset it using the setValue property.

This is the property:

https://developers.arcgis.com/javascript/latest/api-reference/esri-widgets-FeatureForm-FeatureFormViewModel.html#setValue

Here is the app.

I found adding a bit of asynchronous delay seems to do the trick:

editorVM.watch(['state', 'featureFormViewModel.feature', 'featureFormViewModel.state'], () => { if (editorVM.state == 'creating-features' && editorVM.featureFormViewModel.feature && editorVM.featureFormViewModel.state == 'ready') { window.setTimeout(function() { editorVM.featureFormViewModel.setValue('PhoneNumber', "999.999.999") }, 200); } });

You'll want to be careful this workflow doesn't inadvertently overwrite something the user manually enters; I didn't test for that kind of thing.
