Autocomplete initial render

I previously asked you a problem which was, I want to modify only the data refine fills when Edit page loads only at initial time. iam modifying data on onChange and form submission but at initial render of the page, when refine fills the data, I want to modify only there and you give me a code snippet: import { useState, useEffect } from 'react'; import { useForm } from '@refinedev/core'; const PostEdit: React.FC = () => { const { formMethods, formLoading, formError, formState } = useForm(); const [initialRender, setInitialRender] = useState(true); useEffect(() => { if (initialRender && formState?.data) { // Modify the data here formMethods.setValue('yourFieldName', 'yourModifiedValue'); setInitialRender(false); } }, [formState, formMethods, initialRender]); // Rest of your component }; this code works fine but when i click save button in the form even if it success or error, the form data going to old state if i navigate away from edit page and come back no problem but if save and it redirected to list page now if i go toedit page again data is not setting id as value, also when i save and error occur data also resetting to old state

Hi @alfaz_muhammed. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave: ---------------------- Based on the information provided in the extracts, it seems like you're experiencing an issue where the form data reverts to its old state after a save operation, whether it's successful or not. Unfortunately, the extracts do not provide a direct solution to this specific issue. However, it's worth noting that the useForm hook from refine provides a saveButtonProps property that can be used to override the default behavior of the save button. This might be useful if you need to perform additional operations after the form is submitted, such as updating the form data. Here's an example of how you can use saveButtonProps:

import { useForm } from "@refinedev/react-hook-form";  
import { Edit } from "@refinedev/mui";  
import { Box, TextField } from "@mui/material";  
  
const PostEdit: React.FC = () => {  
 const {  
 refineCore: { onFinish, formLoading },  
 register,  
 handleSubmit,  
 formState: { errors },  
 } = useForm<ICategory>();  
  
 return (  
 <Edit  
 isLoading={formLoading}  
 saveButtonProps={{ onClick: handleSubmit(onFinish) }}  
 >  
 <Box component="form">  
 <TextField  
 {...register("title", { required: true })}  
 error={!!errors?.title}  
 helperText={errors?.title?.message}  
 margin="normal"  
 required  
 fullWidth  
 id="title"  
 label="Title"  
 name="title"  
 defaultValue={" "}  
 />  
 </Box>  
 </Edit>  
 );  
};  
  
interface ICategory {  
 id: number;  
 title: string;  
}

import { useForm } from "@refinedev/react-hook-form";  
import { Edit } from "@refinedev/mui";  
import { Box, TextField } from "@mui/material";  
  
const PostEdit: React.FC = () => {  
 const {  
 refineCore: { onFinish, formLoading },  
 register,  
 handleSubmit,  
 formState: { errors },  
 } = useForm<ICategory>();  
  
 return (  
 <Edit  
 isLoading={formLoading}  
 saveButtonProps={{ onClick: handleSubmit(onFinish) }}  
 >  
 <Box component="form">  
 <TextField  
 {...register("title", { required: true })}  
 error={!!errors?.title}  
 helperText={errors?.title?.message}  
 margin="normal"  
 required  
 fullWidth  
 id="title"  
 label="Title"  
 name="title"  
 defaultValue={" "}  
 />  
 </Box>  
 </Edit>  
 );  
};  
  
interface ICategory {  
 id: number;  
 title: string;  
}

(Source: refine.dev (https://refine.dev/docs/api-reference/mui/components/buttons/save-button)) In this example, the handleSubmit(onFinish) function is passed to the onClick property of saveButtonProps, which means that the onFinish function will be called when the save button is clicked. You could potentially use this to update the form data after it's submitted. However, without more specific information about your implementation and the exact issue you're experiencing, it's difficult to provide a more precise solution. I would recommend checking the refine documentation (https://refine.dev/docs) for more information on how to use the useForm hook and the saveButtonProps property. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books: ---------------------- Based on the information provided in the extracts, it seems like you're experiencing an issue where the form data reverts to its old state after a save operation, and this happens when you navigate back to the same document and try to save again. Unfortunately, the extracts do not provide a direct solution to this specific issue. However, it's worth noting that the useForm hook from refine provides a redirect property that can be set to false to disable automatic redirection after a successful mutation. This might be useful if you need to stay on the same page after the form is submitted. Here's an example of how you can use redirect:

import { useForm } from "@refinedev/core";  
  
import { IPost } from "interfaces";  
  
export const PostCreate: React.FC = () => {  
 const { formLoading, onFinish, redirect } = useForm<IPost>({  
 redirect: false,  
 });  
};

import { useForm } from "@refinedev/core";  
  
import { IPost } from "interfaces";  
  
export const PostCreate: React.FC = () => {  
 const { formLoading, onFinish, redirect } = useForm<IPost>({  
 redirect: false,  
 });  
};

(Source: refine.dev (https://refine.dev/docs/advanced-tutorials/forms/save-and-continue)) In this example, the redirect property is set to false, which means that the page will not automatically redirect after the form is submitted. You could potentially use this to stay on the same page and prevent the form data from reverting to its old state. However, without more specific information about your implementation and the exact issue you're experiencing, it's difficult to provide a more precise solution. I would recommend checking the refine documentation (https://refine.dev/docs) for more information on how to use the useForm hook and the redirect property. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

Hello again, today you've asked 3 questions, and they all seem very similar and related to the same component. It's quite challenging to follow when they are separate pieces. If you could combine all the questions and provide a reproducible project, we'll do our best to assist with debugging.
