Redux Material UI TextField - Can't get field value at all - reactjs

Question

I'm utilizing Redux form and the Redux Material UI package. Normally when I run code like this, it works, but for some reason, it's not able to get the value of the TextField. Does anyone know what's going on here?
My console.log statement just comes back with {special_instructions: undefined}
import React from 'react';
import { connect } from 'react-redux';
import { Field, reduxForm } from 'redux-form/immutable';
/**
* Components
*/
import TextField from 'material-ui/TextField';
import RaisedButton from 'material-ui/RaisedButton';
export class EditRequestForm extends React.Component { // eslint-disable-line react/prefer-stateless-function
constructor(props) {
super(props);
this.onSubmit = this.onSubmit.bind(this);
}
cancel() {
this.props.handleCancelEdit();
}
onSubmit(formProps) {
const request = {
special_instructions: formProps.get('special_instructions'),
};
console.log('request', request);
}
render() {
// console.log(this.props.request);
const { handleSubmit, pristine, reset, submitting, errors } = this.props
let request = this.props.request;
return (
<form className="page-form__wrapper page-body__wrapper read-request-page">
<TextField
name="area_instructions"
multiLine={true}
fullWidth={true}
id="area_instructions"
defaultValue={request.area_instructions}
/>
<div className="page-form__block draft-field bg-grey">
<RaisedButton
primary={true}
onTouchTap={handleSubmit(this.onSubmit)}
label="Update"
/>
<RaisedButton
secondary={true}
onTouchTap={handleSubmit(::this.cancel)}
label="Cancel"
/>
</div>
</form>
);
}
}
function mapDispatchToProps(dispatch) {
return {
dispatch,
};
}
export default reduxForm({
form: 'editRequest',
})(connect(mapDispatchToProps)(EditRequestForm));
