The hunt for the missing dialog value ^^ - sapui5

Question

Helloooo experts,
I have a dialog which I use both for creating and updating entries. Everything works fine, except a tiny (but still annoying) bit.
When I call the dialog for an existing entry, everything is smooth. Fields appear normally and update works alright.
When I call the dialog to create a new entry, I get a set of blank fields, I fill them all, press save and works OK. Where is the problem? One of these fields should have already a value since I have already assign a value with the oModel.createEntry method. I debug the app the properties for the entry look alright, everything seems alright (if not blind) but the value doesn't come with the field - rings any bells?
Code (quite short) attached below, field in doubt: iAgrId.
Thanks!
Greg

Problem was in the parameter definition in the createEntry method, correct statement below:
var oEntry = oModel.createEntry("/Agreement_ActionsSet", {properties:oNewObject});
