Yes, it's a bit of a quirk with QML. It seems the dynamic assignments are computed after the static ones.

ie.
  states: pinnedModeStates
is assigned after
  state: "initial"
no matter where in the code it's placed.

so, when states property is assigned after state, it clears the state "initial".

Because it's visiblily vs enabling. Previously search was always visible, only it was disabled. Now it's not visible at all.

Done.
Guess I'm not a fan of setting state by string from external object. :(

Done
