Manually setting isDirty = true | false

[bstro]

Is there any reason why one ought not to set isDirty by hand? Is this a derived value that react-hook-form calculates on its own, such that it would be dangerous to set it manually, I.e. formState.isDirty = true ?

Thanks!

you can use setValue('xx', 'xxx' { shouldDirty: true }).

Can we set manually dirty fields to false

No

You can if after setValue the value is the same as the default, you can do a trigger().
As I understand isDirty means the value is different from the default.
It would be great to have a shouldValidate property to the resetField function.
