I have a View that renders inputs for custom field types. These are dynamic and configured by admins, each custom field can be an int, DateTime, bool, etc. Because of this I store CustomField values as object and back them by a sql_variant column type in SQL Server. The ViewModel for this View contains a collection of CustomFields:

These are rendered in my View using a for loop:

These do get posted back to the controller action:

But the Value property of each CustomField is null, all other properties are populated correctly.

Edit: It appears to indeed be caused by binding to a property of type object. If I change the Value property in CustomFieldViewModel to string the property is set correctly in the controller action on Post.
