Can not change field value in form

[ryanhz]

There is no way to change the field value once they are created, I have create a form with fields initially, then some user interaction will change the status, but all the fields remain the same regardless that I call setState(), in the build function I can see the status data have been changed.

Looking into source code, it looks like the field control state is not recreated and is associated with the attribute as key.

Noted. Working on that.
Sorry for the late response.

The field widgets are stateful widgets, so you can't change the state from the parent widget, I think a callback would serve this purpose.

Hi @danvick,
Thanks for great package. I copied the exact example UI runs smoothly, but once I select field keyboard opens and closes instantly.
Only difference is that there is no Myapp extends StatelessWidget on top to pass the new MyHomePage()
Could this be the cause ?
Attached is a .dart example
add_store_view.dart.zip

Hello @926,
Yes. Kindly use a StatefulWidget.

This is a known issue with stateless widget but I haven't given it much priority since in most cases the form is used within a stateful widget in order to collect data after submission.

Thanks for your contribution, I'll find time to look into it.

@danvick thank but it is already in a StatefulWidget.
Please look at screenshot below
Would a video be of any help ?
