Why defaultValue is different on useController and Controller?

[gyto23]

I am not sure if it a bug or a feature, but I have couple 3rd Party components that I had to wrap into controller and I was assuming making everything shiny and styled with useController, but problem came in my defaultValue.

I have pretty large form with ~20 inputs and some of them requires on render to be set as true or false

const methods = useForm({
  defaultValues: {
   value1: true
   value2: false
  }
  ...
})

when I am using Controller even with defaultValue as a prop that comes from parent component

export default function CheckboxInput(
  {
    name,
    defaultValue = false,
  },
) {
  return (
    <Controller
      defaultValue={defaultValue}
      name={name}
      render={({ field }) => (
        <div>
          <Switch
            {...field}
            checked={field.value}
            onChange={field.onChange}
          >
           <span .../>
          </Switch>
        </div>
      )}/>
  )
);

I will get an input with both scenario where on is false and one is true, but when I use useController

...

  const {
    field,
  } = useController({
    name,
    defaultValue,
  });


  return (
    <div>
      <Switch
        {...field}
        checked={field.value}
        onChange={field.onChange}
      >
        <span .../>
      </Switch>
    </div>
  );

useController ignoring default value that was given in higher option of the useForm, but on the other hand Controller working as it should, even if the prop is overwritten or not given it still will default to prop that was passed to the controller itself. useController doesnt not take anything unless it is part it own eco system. I have even tried to use control from useFormContext I was assuming that is original issue that it could not subscribe but looks like it is an optional field per docs.

So returning to the original question is this a bug or does it should work this way, or there is alternative code to make it work and accept default values from useForm itself?

Happy Coding!
