Summary of Changes
This fixes a Joomla 6 regression where the category field on New Article looks empty, even though a category is already selected. I updated the joomla-field-fancy-select so that, right after Choices initializes, it picks up any preselected <select> value and shows it in the UI. (same expected UX as previous versions j5.4 etc)
Testing Instructions
Navigate to: administrator > content > Articles > create a new article
Actual result BEFORE applying this Pull Request
The Category field render as empty on New Article, even though a category was selected and used on save. (ie if you only give that article a name and click on save without specifying any category - and then you open the article you see preslected/default category(uncategorized) is assigned to it )
Expected result AFTER applying this Pull Request
The Category field shows the preselected value and existing save behavior remains same.

Sorry, the fix is wrong.
It looks like a bug in Choices.js side, and related to <select> behavior.
On our side we can maybe do a workaround and set first element selected but not how it done in the PR.

Thanks for the clarification, @Fedik - Will rework this to a narrower workaround and avoid broad behavior changes
