default value mui select with react-hook-form controller

Hi everyone 👋
I try to set a default value to a MUI select with the Controller from react-hook-form but it does not work. I found this

         <Controller
          render={({ field }) => (
            <Select {...field}>
              <MenuItem value={10}>Ten</MenuItem>
              <MenuItem value={20}>Twenty</MenuItem>
              <MenuItem value={30}>Thirty</MenuItem>
            </Select>
          )}
          name="Select"
          control={control}
        />

         <Controller
          render={({ field }) => (
            <Select {...field}>
              <MenuItem value={10}>Ten</MenuItem>
              <MenuItem value={20}>Twenty</MenuItem>
              <MenuItem value={30}>Thirty</MenuItem>
            </Select>
          )}
          name="Select"
          control={control}
        />

code snipet in a sandbox which show us how to use a select with a control but i can not find how to set a defaultValue to the select (I try the defaultValue props but it is not working). Does any one how can i do it ?

Hey @harisris I remember that Select was an issue with the defaultValue prop. I suggest you to use <AutoComplete>. https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/mui/hooks/useAutocomplete/#usage-with-react-hook-form-pankodrefine-react-hook-form https://github.com/refinedev/refine/blob/next/examples/finefoods-mui/src/pages/couriers/edit.tsx You can review the usage cases in the links.
