Populate fields from custom field

Hi, I’ve got a ui/custom field in a collection. From that component I want to populate other fields – how can I do that?



Thanks! 🙂



Ah that’s probably what I’m looking for rougly – the docs are sadly

very

barebones



My current gameplan is to use

const { dispatchFields } = useForm()

as I need to change a bunch of Fields once a user presses a button



dispatchFields({
  type: 'UPDATE',
  path: 'name',
  value: selectedDevice.Name,
  requiresRender: true,
})


When I try to do this, I get this error though

Uncaught TypeError: dispatchFields is not a function

Also, when I log out useForm() i get an empty object

Duplicate Payload Versions in my monorepo was the culprit …
