Research direction

The issue names no files or tests; start by locating the DevTools form-context display and its handling of getValues. Confirm the expected behavior for values created with SetValue but absent from the visible UI, then verify that those values appear in the DevTools context alongside visible fields.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Hey,

I dont know if this is an issue or feature request... Long story short - I have a field which I dynamically create behind the scenes - A SetValue that isn't part of the UI itself. the devtool currently shows only the fields that are on the screen at a particular moment.

Is there a way to also add any values that aren't on the screen but are retrieved through "getValues"?
