reset not working as expected

[mkoorn]

I have have a form with FormBuilderTextField's as per example.
When calling fbKey.currentState.reset(), I can see when stepping through the code, that each field is reset to the initial value.

But when checking the value of the initial value, I see it has the value of the updated textfield which is also shown in the onChange.

I have no idea how this could be happening.

upgraded to v1.7.8+hotfix.3 today, but not sure if that could be an issue.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

experiencing same issue.

reset() not clearing any value.

Could you please post a minimal example where this bug occurs? Just a main.dart file is enough. I'll look into it if I can reproduce it.

@knaeckeKami Thanks for your time. Currently I am swamped with work and in the end I managed by just creating a new key on reset.
I am new to flutter, so it is probably an issue on my side.
should I run into this some other time, I will update with an example.

I've faced the same issue. This issue caused by combination of 2 factors:

1. Implementation detail of TextFormField - https://github.com/flutter/flutter/blame/9dce19e96ff36fc36c50d15f57fa20e096a5b29f/packages/flutter/lib/src/material/text_form_field.dart#L141
   Simply put, on each (re)build initial value of field will be set to current controller.text value.
2. So, if you make your widget containing form stateful and use setState inside FormBuilder onChanged callback, you get rebuild each time you change field value => reassignment of initialValue. When time comes to reset form, reset "wont work".

I run into same issue, setting initialValue: "" fixed this - feels like work around = maybe by default set that value?

This issue should be fixed. Feel free to reopen if not.
