Input type of `:text` containing `#` does not appear in edit form

[DylanGriffith]

We're trying to build a markdown editing field and when we add a heading using # the text area appears empty after saving then going back to edit it.

We've noticed that there is no explicit documentation for text areas (ie input :field_name, type: :text). Is this supported?

Everything else seems to work just fine, we get a textarea and can pass through a rows attribute but editing is empty when there is a hash at the start of the first line.

Note that the hash does not cause this issue if there is anything other than whitespace before it.

Reproduction Steps

1. Create a field with type text like so:

input :field_name, type: :text

2. Add some content to the field with a hash on the first line like:

# Content that will disappear

3. Save the model
4. Edit the model and notice that the textarea is now empty

We were able to workaround our issue by always adding a newline to the front of the trimmed text field before saving like so:

  def changeset(struct, params \\ %{}) do
    params =
      params
      |> workaround_broken_markdown_in_exadmin("article")

    struct
    |> cast(params, [:article])
    |> validate_required([:article])
  end

  # https://github.com/smpallen99/ex_admin/issues/274
  # A leading newline seems to workaround the issue
  defp workaround_broken_markdown_in_exadmin(params, field) do
    Map.update(params, field, "", &("\n" <> String.trim(&1)))
  end
