Reset form without triggering validation

[jeffreymb]

I have a situation where I'm trying to call reset from inside my resolver. Getting reset in there to begin with is a bit of a dance, but it works. The next problem is that I when I call reset it will trigger validation again, so my resolver gets executed again, which calls reset again... i.e. it gets stuck in a loop.

I would use setValue except for the note in the documentation that says it shouldn't be used for field arrays.

So my question is, is it possible to call reset without triggering validation? Or is there another approach with setValue that could work "safely" with field arrays?

Have you checked their documentation on using reset?

You can also share the code so I can have a look.

Yes, I've readythe documentation nearly to the point of memorization, but I see no mention of it causing the resolver to be run. Every time I call reset() the resolver is run, is this not expected behavior?

Can you want to share a code sample?

Here is how I'm doing the reset; newData only includes the fields that need changed, not the existing data.

    this.resetForm(newData, {
      keepErrors: true,
      keepDirty: true,
      keepDirtyValues: true,
      keepValues: false,
      keepDefaultValues: true,
      keepIsSubmitted: true,
      keepTouched: true,
      keepIsValid: true,
      keepSubmitCount: true,

      // Not included in the documentation
      keepIsSubmitSuccessful: true,
      keepIsValidating: true,
    });

After MUCH debugging work, I think I traced it down to the useFormState hook. It appears that the resolver is executed whenever this hook is used.

If someone could confirm this is how it works and that it is correct, that would be great!
