What is the proper way to autofocus a Text field in a Dialog?

This is an unorthodox issue, I know, but I've been wrestling with various ways to tackle this for quite some time now and I'm stumped. The use case for this is a dialog being popped up to rename one item in a list, upon clicking a button. This involves a simple dialog with a single text input, a cancel button, and an accept button. All the usual ways to manually focus or autofocus a text field or directly on the input either don't work, or focus it briefly then immediately unfocus - I realized after some research that this is due to the focus trap the dialog is setting up. However, there doesn't seem to be any way to configure that focus trap to focus any element of the dialog aside from the accept button. Does such a way exist? Or am I going about this the wrong way?
