Adding to an array field outside of the field.

I have a separate button that I want to populate the field that isn't inside the field. How would I go about inserting it?

the form api also lets you access field setting methods, they‘re just named slightly differently setFieldValue, pushFieldValue etc

I see, how can i access the form api in a button? Oh wait I found it, thanks for that!

:PepeThumbs: in case someone finds this chatlog, it's just the returned value from useForm

yes exactly that Is there any way to make it generic and not tailored to a specific form?

absent-sapphire•5mo ago

at the moment, not unless you make it a form context, which you‘ve observed does not allow access to keys

continuing-cyanOP•5mo ago

Yeah haha

there‘s talk about a form group API or allowing withForm to extend the fields, but as it is right now, it‘s not a thing

Got it

I could suggest alternatives, but it‘s difficult to figure out what your desired behaviour is

Well let’s just I have 10 fields. I want the first page to have 3 of them and the next button to validate those 3 fields. The next page the next 3 Maybe I just need different forms. I will have to see how to connect them then

so if the fields are invalid, it won't let you click next? Sounds like separate forms could work quite well here since you can assume that previously passed data is correct, the next loaded element can accept data as parameter, knowing it's correct

Yes, but the only thing is I want to be able to go back and be able to change my results from the previous page

how about a two-dimensional array then? to separate them into page groups then you could validate the „field“ which will be an array of values, in your case the values of the current page

That theoretically would work
