Summary 💡

Use case: I want to update some values of a datagrid through a form. So I expect the values of selected row should prefill in the form. The ideal component inside a form for this function is TextField, but I can't bind a value to it. It seems to only take input.

Default value property also doesn't serve the purpose.

Seems that the issue is caused when we modify input and set value prop, upon changing selection value is not cleared. Since value itself can not be bound - I'm wondering if it made sense if we added logic which would clear value when defaultValue changes? 🤔 @Janpot any thoughts on this? Or maybe you see a better way?

Did a little benchmark in other tools on how they handle this. The benchmark was:

• create two inputs
• make the second input default value equal to the first ones value
• type in the first input, then type in the second input, then type in the first one again

retool, appsmith, openblocks and dynaboard all behave the same. When the default value changes, the input value is reset to the default value.

I'm fine with adopting the same behavior
