specification of "newscategories_default" has no effect

[drum-und-dran]

If you define one or more default categories in a user group and a user creates a new news item, these defined default news categories are not displayed. The “News categories” field remains empty.

Tested with:

Contao 4.13.54,
PHP 8.3.24,
codefog/contao-news_categories version 3.5.8

Contao 5.3.34,
PHP 8.3.24,
codefog/contao-news_categories version 4.0.13

See screenshots.

First, the screenshot where the default categories are defined, and below that, the screenshot of creating a new news item.

Here the screenshot of creating a new news item:
