onChange converts to controlled component? (Question)

[chiester]

When I add an onChange prop to my AutoField and then select an item (it's a select list), the selected item no longer stays selected. What's the preferred way for me to be able to use the selected value in React state somehow but still have it be visibly selected and usable by uniforms?

Hi @chiester ,

If you only need the fields value I think useField hook could help you with this. You can find the documentation for this here. This hook will give you access to all of the fields data and you won't need to pass a value and an onChange to it explicitly.

Or you can use useForm and access the model directly. In other words, you should always rely on the current model, not the onChange of a field.
