Storeview not being saved in, "Send Welcome Email From" Select Field

[crantron]

1. Branch 2.1
2. PHP 7

Steps to reproduce

1. Change welcome email to the correct store view (in a multi store set up)
2. Save

Expected result

1. Should save selected option

Actual result

1. Selects first item in select field list ( Chefstoys instead of Wingstop).

Confirmation emails are set to not required, I'm not sure if that is causing this behavior.

I have faced the same issue and made the following changes to resolve it.

File: module-customer/view/base/ui_component/customer_form.xml
Change:

<field name="sendemail_store_id"> <argument name="data" xsi:type="array"> <item name="options" xsi:type="object">Magento\Store\Model\System\Store</item> <item name="config" xsi:type="array"> <item name="label" xsi:type="string" translate="true">Send Welcome Email From</item> <item name="dataType" xsi:type="string">number</item> <item name="formElement" xsi:type="string">select</item> <item name="source" xsi:type="string">customer</item> <item name="imports" xsi:type="array"> <item name="value" xsi:type="string">${ $.provider }:data.customer.store_id</item> </item> </item> </argument> </field>
