Description

It is stated in the document https://github.com/react-component/field-form?tab=readme-ov-file#8-setfields-not-trigger-onfieldschange-and-setfieldsvalue-not-trigger-onvalueschange that it doesn't work by design.
Question is what are the options to do that using the current API? What are the best practices.

We need to do save to db on each form value change but that's not possible because onValuesChange is not invoked when some field reset another field (Example: when field A is updated we reset field B).

Thanks in advance!

Research direction

Start with the README section “SetFields not trigger onFieldsChange and setFieldsValue not trigger onValuesChange” and review the current form API around field resets and value changes. Clarify the intended save-on-change behavior and define how programmatic updates should be distinguished from user edits before proposing a documented API approach.
