According to the documentation here the value of the property would be available in the postCreate method. The console.logs to all of the lifecycle methods(postCreate, buildRendering, startup...) and this.value is null in all of them. _setValueAttr is called AFTER the startup method.
So the steps would be:
Create a new Dojo widget
Save a value
Console.log in postCreate

URL's where the host part cannot be mapped as per the site settings will not...

There have been a few tickets recently where when adding a link in the edit interface to another item (entered as an external link), the link reverts when saved to an internal site link.
Resolution
Currently this is how the product is designed to work as the CMS finds the link and associates it with the appropriate page in the CMS. If you would like to submit a feature request for a future version, please add a request here.

In Episerver CMS 7, the code was using a version of Dojo that had its own synchronous loader which used dot notation.
In Episerver CMS 7.1, changes with Dojo dependencies forced the use of slash notation.
Up until Episerver 10, there was extra support code to assist customers moving forward to slash notation.
This issue would present itself with edit view load issues and hang ups. Errors in the browser conso...
