How to set value of another field?

[wyxcoder]

Seems didChange works for dropdown, but not TextField, looks like the code doesn't handle to set text on the controller

Any idea how to work on TextFields ?

Hi @wyxcoder
Currently, this feature is not working so well. We can change the underlying value of a field using FormField.didChange but for most fields, the change won't propagate to the UI.

I'm planning to have this feature fully functional in the next major version (4.0.0) which will be an overhaul of the package.

For TextFields you could use a controller to update the field's value.

My use case is with FutureBuilder, and with FutureBuilder if I use setstate(), it just reloads, is there any other way i can set the value in TextField ?

For a TextField, the best option is to use a TextEditingController to set its value programmatically.
