Hi @tingadev. 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 knowledge sources provided, there isn't specific information on how to directly get values from another step in useStepsForm. However, I can provide some relevant information and a potential workaround:
1. The
useStepsForm hook extends the functionality of useForm and manages multiple steps in a form useStepsForm documentation (https://refine.dev/docs/packages/react-hook-form/use-steps-form/).
2. All form values are typically managed within a single form instance, regardless of the step they belong to.
3. A potential issue related to field values from previous steps was reported GitHub Issue (https://github.com/refinedev/refine/issues/5231), but it was identified as more of an interaction between Material UI and React Hook Form rather than a problem with useStepsForm itself.
4. To access values from other steps, you might be able to use the form methods provided by useForm, which are also available in useStepsForm. These methods allow you to access and manipulate form data useStepsForm Return Values (https://refine.dev/docs/packages/react-hook-form/use-steps-form/#return-values).
5. If you need to access specific field values, you could potentially use the watch method from React Hook Form to observe changes to form values across all steps.
To ensure proper handling of form data across steps, it's recommended to use unique keys for form fields in different steps to avoid unintended value sharing, as suggested in the GitHub issue discussion GitHub Issue Comment (https://github.com/refinedev/refine/issues/5231).
If you need more specific information on accessing values from other steps, it might be worth consulting the React Hook Form documentation directly or reaching out to the refine community for more targeted assistance.
