Hi @Nitai. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

To change form data before submitting it when using the
<Edit />
component together with useForm
from @refinedev/react-hook-form
, you can follow these steps:
1. Import the necessary modules: Ensure you have the necessary imports from @refinedev/react-hook-form
and other relevant libraries.
2. Define the onFinishHandler
function: This function will modify the form data before it is sent to the API.
3. Use the useForm
hook: Initialize the form using the useForm
hook and pass the onFinishHandler
to the handleSubmit
function.
Here is an example code snippet demonstrating how to achieve this:
In this example, the onFinishHandler
function combines the name
and surname
fields into a single fullName
field before submitting the data to the API.
For more detailed information, you can refer to the documentation on modifying form data before submission (https://refine.dev/docs/packages/react-hook-form/use-form/#how-can-i-change-the-form-data-before-submitting-it-to-the-api).
