Custom Meta value for field?
We want to show our users when a field has been prefilled (and change some styling when they edit it).
I'd love to have the ability to add a custom meta field like field.meta.isPrefilled (boolean) to keep track of this.
The AI Orama chatbot seems to think it's possible, which leads me to believe it was possible with older versions.
const { field } = useField('yourFieldName');
// To set custom meta values
field.updateMeta({ customKey: 'customValue' });
// To access the custom meta values
const customMeta = field.meta.customKey;
But this isn't real in the current version of tanstack form.
Anyone know if it's possible to add custom meta properties to fields?
