useForm().setValues(...) doesn't cause input's value to update

What you were expecting: If I wanted to programmatically set the value of an input using form.setValue(), I would expect the input to receive the value and update it’s state accordingly.

This is no longer working, and the input’s value is no longer updating.

You can view this behaviour here

There’s a setTimeout that runs after 3 seconds. The log inside of it runs, but the text doesn’t update.

Try destructuring setValue from react-hook-form’s useFormContext method instead of useForm! UseForm is used to instantiate the initial form, while useFormContext is where you can pull the useForm methods from in order to use them inside the FormContext.

@Danjavia indeed I cleaned up old sandboxes recently to make some room. But my answer is still valid. You should be able to have it work if you use the useFormContext hook inside the <SimpleForm>.
