Change another value of an entity using a LiveComponent

[Matoto951]

I have a Quote Entity with relations (QuoteVersion that also has sub-relations).
for context (Project -> Quote -> QuoteVersion -> Chunk -> ChunkDetail)

The live component I created for this form looks like:

#[LiveProp(onUpdated: 'updateField')]
public Quote $initialFormData;

#[LiveProp]
public Project $project;

#[LiveProp]
public ?QuoteVersion $quoteVersion = null;

protected function instantiateForm() : FormInterface
{
    $quote = $this->initialFormData;
    $quote->setProject($this->project);

    $quoteVersion = $this->quoteVersion ?? (new QuoteVersion())->setLanguage(Language::LANGUAGE_EN)->addChunk((new Chunk()));
    $quote->addQuoteVersion($quoteVersion);

    return $this->createForm(QuoteType::class, $quote, [
        'project' => $this->project,
        'quoteVersion' => $quoteVersion
    ]);
}

public function updateField(): void
{
	//$this->formValues['legalNotes'] = 'helloooo';
	dd($this->formValues);
}

My goal is to set a field in the updateField method whenever my form is re-rendered for validation, but my dd function never triggers.

onUpdated seems to be working only for props that are not Entities. Is there any way around this or am I just doing it wrong?

You must use writable to define what is writable in your LiveProp... or i suppose it won't be updated.

Maybe then try with

#[LiveProp(writable: ['title', 'content'], onUpdated: ['title' => 'onTitleUpdated'])]

onUpdated don't working on object :/

The example in the documentation does not work for you ?

If I use the writable: true, does not work onUpdated on the property.

#[LiveProp(writable: true, onUpdated: ['title' => 'onTitleUpdated'])]
public Post $post;

I just read this

By default, the user can't change the properties of an entity LiveProp You can allow this by setting writable to property names that should be writable. This also works as a way to make only some keys of an array writable:

Question:
How can i catch the value of property when the form changes?
