defaultValues not updating after loaders run

[caprica]

I have a form with a custom component, all hooked up via a Controller. This part is fine, it shows the current value and it can be edited and submitted. I use defaultValues to set the value of this custom component based on data returned by a loader. Everything works.

I then have a separate form on the same page for a delete action, it is independent of the form above. This form simply triggers a delete action on a different route. It uses a fetcher. This does NOT use remix-hook-form, it's a Remix Form.

As is expected with Remix, the post to that action triggers the loaders to re-run and deliver the updated data to the application. This part also works, I can see the loaders run, and I can see (in logs) new values in my component (the deleted item has been removed).

But, despite having new values provided by the loader, and again I can see these new values in the logs of the component that renders the form, this form (the one that uses remix-hook-form) apparently keeps the previous values, it does not update to remove the deleted value. I can see inside the controller that the field.value prop still has the previous values.

Essentially, it seems like the useRemixForm hook does not update when the defaultValues change.

What am I doing wrong?

I added key={JSON.stringify(value)} to my form as a hack, and this works, but it has side effects like breaking the delete animation, a flash of unwanted content when the component re-renders and so on,.
