Flutter `TextFormField` with RichText or `SpanText` in `initialValue`

Question

I have some TextFormFields that I would like to have populated with RichText or SpanText instead of String in initialValue.

Is there a packaged that can help me with this?

The reason is that I am "highligting" phone numbers, emails and links by using this neat trick described here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/58361777/4475206 and it works like a charm when using it in a 'ordinary' Text.rich widget, but not so when using TextFormField when we need to set the initialValue parameter which just accepts String.

It seems rich_input package is not null-sound compatible. – J. S. May 29 '22 at 13:23
