Behaviour of .sync and .update

It seems .sync is only setting the value right immediate of what passed into it; While .update seems to have much complete checking to the nested fields and update accordingly.

What is the use case for both .sync and .update?

But not all complex data should be treated as nested fields, so I don’t know if we can use .update() for .sync(). Maybe we can make a .sync(e, true) for update nested fields.

Anyway I suggest you to duplicate the demo branch into another branch like demo-next. So you can show me which kind of components and data structure you are using, and I will test these cases.

Anyway if you want to set a field value use .set('value', val). (it sets the value property on the field class).

But it doesn’t create nested fields if val is array, in that case use .update() instead.
