reset should accept an array of input names (the way trigger works)

[conor909]

I could be missing something from the docs here, but I can't just reset a section or individual inputs of my form without resetting the whole form.

The docs for the reset function says:

• You will need to pass defaultValues to useForm in order to reset the Controller components' value.

But how do I tell which Controller values to reset, without resetting all of them? I tried with an array of input names, like how trigger works when validating, but it didn't work.

So I tried removing all the defaultValue from my Controllers. And added the defaultValues to my useForm method. I then tried ways of structuring object values to pass into reset({ values: {...}}), but my form has deeply nested objects in some sections and is dynamic and difficult to programmatically create.

I think something like this would be easiest:

reset([
   'person.age',
   'person.hair.color',
   'person.hair.length',
   'person.clothes.coat.color'
])

The alternative I'm using at the moment, is passing in defaultValues to useForm and creating my own onReset function from the defaultValues object:

  import get from 'lodash.get'

  const onReset = (inputNames:string[]) => {
      inputNames.forEach((name:string) =>
          setValue(name, get(defaultValues, name)))
  }

Agree. setValue can't always be used because accept

value: UnpackNestedValue<FieldPathValue<TFieldValues, TFieldName>>

so it can't be used because we need provide explicit value, rather that when we need to reset field, we actualy want be able to use something like setDefaultValue or resetTo

value: UnpackNestedValue<FieldPathDefaultValue<TFieldValues, TFieldName>>
