fix(form-core): reset field to undefined default in resetField - #2425
maricastroc wants to merge 1 commit into
Conversation
resetField skipped the value update whenever the resolved default was undefined, treating "the default is undefined" as "no default exists". The field meta was reset while the field kept its current value. Decide whether a default exists from its sources (a field-level defaultValue or form-level defaultValues) instead of from the resolved value, so optional fields are reset to undefined again. Fixes TanStack#2424

Preserve a field-level null default when resetting.
If a mounted field has defaultValue: null and the form has no defaultValues, hasDefault is true, but fieldDefault ?? formDefault resolves to undefined. resetField() now replaces the current value with undefined instead of restoring null. This also differs from form.reset(), which applies the field-level null default. Resolve the target by checking whether fieldDefault is undefined, and add a field-level null case to the tests.

🎯 Changes
Fixes #2424.
form.resetField()only wrote a value back when the resolved default was notundefined. For an optional field whose default isundefined(set explicitly, or because its key is missing fromdefaultValues), the field meta was reset but the current value stayed.isDefaultValueremainedfalseand the result disagreed withform.reset().This is a regression from #2006 (
@tanstack/form-core@1.32.0), which replaced thethis.options.defaultValues ? … : prev.valuesguard withtargetValue !== undefined. That made "the default isundefined" indistinguishable from "no default exists".resetFieldnow decides whether a default exists from its sources (a field-leveldefaultValueor form-leveldefaultValues) instead of from the resolved value. The field-over-form priority from #2006 is unchanged, and a form withoutdefaultValuesstill keeps the current value, as the existing tests require.New tests cover form-level defaults of
undefined,null,'',false,0and a defined value, a key missing fromdefaultValues, nested and array item fields, and field-level defaults whendefaultValuesis not provided.✅ Checklist
