…mutations Removing an array item kills the field APIs at that index and moves every later sibling down one index; swapping exchanges two of them. Components rendering those fields stay mounted under the same name, and `useField` only resolved the name again when the form, the name or the reset version changed. They therefore kept the field API resolved on mount, which after a mutation is either killed or reachable by a different name, so a value or error that shifted into their index never rendered. The form now bumps a field tree version whenever a field API is killed or moved to another name. The React and Vue adapters include it when they resolve a name, so a mounted component follows the field API the form currently uses for its name.
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe form core now signals field API identity changes after fields move or are killed. React and Vue adapters re-resolve the current field API. Tests cover value and error movement after array removal and swapping. ChangesField API identity synchronization

Create a field API when no current API exists.
When removing the final array item kills the API at options().name, tryGetFieldApi() removes its trie node and _tryGetFieldApi() returns null. The guard then leaves fieldApi.value pointing to the killed API. Resolve the field through createField(), which uses _getOrCreateFieldApi(). The existing watcher will unregister the killed API and register the replacement.
Proposed fix
- const current = options().form._tryGetFieldApi(options().name)
- if (current && current !== fieldApi.value) {
- fieldApi.value = adoptField(current)
+ const current = createField()
+ if (current !== fieldApi.value) {
+ fieldApi.value = current

🎯 Changes
Fixes #2391, and the same bug in the React adapter.
removeValuekills the field APIs at the removed index and calls_moveToon every later sibling, so the field API reachable byissues[0].titleafter removing index 0 is the instance that used to serveissues[1].title.swapValuesandmoveValuemove them the same way. The components rendering those fields stay mounted under the same name, anduseFieldonly resolved the name again when the form, the name or the reset version changed. They kept the field API they resolved on mount, which after a mutation is either killed or reachable by a different name, so a value or error that shifted into their index never rendered.I originally reported this as a Vue issue, but it reproduces in React too: the test added here to
packages/react-form/tests/FormField.spec.tsxfails onalphawithout the adapter change. It is not specific tocreateFormHookand is unrelated to #2392 — it reproduces with markup rendered directly inside theFieldslot, onalphaas it stands.The fix
form-core: afieldTreeVersionatom on the form, bumped when a field API is killed or moved to a name it was not reachable by before.react-formandvue-form:useFieldincludes that version when it resolves a name, so a mounted component follows the field API the form currently uses for its name. Vue adopts the current field API only when one exists, so a component whose index is going away keeps its instance until it unmounts.I have not touched the other adapters.
angular-form,solid-form,svelte-form,preact-formandlit-formresolve names the same way, so they are likely affected too — happy to extend this PR if you would like them covered here rather than separately.Tests
packages/vue-form/tests/adapter.spec.tsx: errors shift into view afterremoveFieldValueand afterswapFieldValues.packages/react-form/tests/FormField.spec.tsx: the same removal case.All three fail without the change and pass with it.
