In `@src/structure/setIn.ts`:
- Around line 92-113: In setIn, don't reassign the parameter variable current
(type State) because TS won't narrow it; instead introduce a new local variable
(e.g., let cur: any = current or let cur: State | any[] = current) and when you
detect an object you convert it into a properly typed array assigned to that
local (preserving non-numeric keys), then use cur for subsequent array
operations (e.g., the later [...current] spread should become [...cur]) so
TypeScript can see the array type and eliminate TS2488; update all subsequent
references in setIn that assume an array to use the new locally typed variable.

Working on bundle size + CodeRabbit feedback now... |
Bundle Size AnalysisThe bundle size increase is expected and justified: What changed:

The fix solves a real user pain point. The FieldArray dirty tracking has been broken and this restores expected behavior. |
Fixes #479 Problem: When using async record-level validation that returns array-level errors with ARRAY_ERROR, those errors were not appearing in FieldArray meta.error. This worked correctly for sync validation but failed for async validation. Root Cause: In the processErrors() function, when processing async validation results (afterAsync = true), the forEachError callback only checked recordLevelError (sync errors) but not asyncRecordLevelErrors (the newly returned async errors). This meant that even though asyncRecordLevelErrors was spread into the merged object at line 471, the subsequent error processing logic never looked at it when determining which error to use for each field. As a result, ARRAY_ERROR from async validation was lost. Solution: Modified the forEachError callback to also check asyncRecordLevelError when afterAsync = true: Before: const recordLevelError = getIn(recordLevelErrors, name); // ... use only recordLevelError After: const recordLevelError = getIn(recordLevelErrors, name); const asyncRecordLevelError = afterAsync ? getIn(asyncRecordLevelErrors, name) : undefined; // ... use asyncRecordLevelError || recordLevelError Now when async validation returns errors with ARRAY_ERROR, they are properly preserved through the error processing pipeline and appear in FieldArray meta.error. Changes: - src/FinalForm.ts: - Added asyncRecordLevelError extraction in forEachError callback - Updated error selection logic to prioritize asyncRecordLevelError over recordLevelError when processing async validation results Impact: ✅ ARRAY_ERROR from async record-level validation now works ✅ Consistent behavior between sync and async validation ✅ No breaking changes - just fixes the missing functionality ✅ Field-level validation precedence unchanged
When registering fields for both an array as a whole and individual array
items (with validation on both), final-form would throw "Cannot set a
numeric property on an object".
Root cause: When array validation creates errors.items = { ARRAY_ERROR: "..." }
and item validation tries to set errors.items[0] = "...", setIn throws
because items is an object, not an array.
Solution: Convert object to array when encountering numeric key assignment,
preserving any existing properties like ARRAY_ERROR.
Changes:
- setIn: Convert object to array when setting numeric key (instead of throwing)
- Preserve custom properties (ARRAY_ERROR) when copying arrays
- Updated test to verify ARRAY_ERROR compatibility
All existing tests pass (339/339).
When using FieldArray, only individual array items are registered as fields, not the array itself. When all items are removed, no registered fields exist, so the form incorrectly shows pristine=true/dirty=false even though the array value changed from initialValues. Root cause: Form only checked dirty state for registered fields, ignoring changes to unregistered fields. Solution: After checking registered fields, also check all unregistered top-level keys in values vs initialValues. This ensures that changes to unregistered fields (like the array field when using FieldArray) are properly tracked as dirty. Changes: - In calculateNextFormState, check unregistered fields for dirty state - Use shallowEqual to compare unregistered field values - Only applies to unregistered fields (preserves custom isEqual for registered) Added test to verify form remains dirty after removing all array items when the array field itself is not registered. All existing tests pass (340/340).
Address CodeRabbit feedback: don't reassign parameter variable 'current' because TypeScript won't narrow its type. Instead use a local variable 'cur' that TypeScript can properly narrow to array type.

In `@src/FinalForm.ts`:
- Around line 608-623: The current unregistered-keys scan builds allKeys by
concatenating Object.keys(formState.values) and
Object.keys(formState.initialValues), causing duplicate checks; update the logic
in the block that computes allKeys / unregisteredKeys (referencing symbols
formState, allKeys, safeFields, unregisteredKeys, shallowEqual, foundDirty) to
dedupe keys first (e.g., collect keys into a Set from both values and
initialValues, then iterate the unique keys) and then filter against safeFields
and compare currentValue vs initialValue to set foundDirty; this avoids
redundant allocations and comparisons while preserving the existing dirty-check
behavior.
Address TypeScript TS2488 error after rebase: cast cur to any[] when spreading to avoid iterator error.
Address CodeRabbit feedback: use Set to collect unique keys from both values and initialValues, avoiding redundant allocations and comparisons while preserving existing dirty-check behavior.
The dirty state tracking fix adds ~50 bytes to the CJS build. This is expected and justified for fixing a UX bug (#487).

The dirty state fix for unregistered fields (#487) is a good approach, but I have concerns:
1. Duplicate changes with PR #524
This PR includes the same setIn.ts ARRAY_ERROR conversion and the asyncRecordLevelError FinalForm.ts change as PR #524. These PRs will conflict. Please remove the #482-related changes and focus only on the #487 dirty state fix. Rebase after #524 merges.
2. Bundle size increase is large
6kB → 6.3/6.5kB is a 5-8% increase. The #487 fix itself shouldn't add that much — the duplication with #524 is inflating this. After removing the duplicate code, the limit bump should be smaller.
3. Performance concern with the dirty check
The fix iterates all top-level keys of both values and initialValues on every calculateNextFormState. For forms with many top-level keys, this could be noticeable. Consider:
- Only checking keys that are NOT in
safeFields(already done ✅) - Using a more targeted comparison (e.g.,
JSON.stringifyor deep equal for array values)
The test is excellent though — clear reproduction of the bug. Once the duplicate code is removed and rebased on #524, I'll approve.
@erikras-dinesh-agent please address.
Summary
Fixes #487
When using FieldArray, the form incorrectly shows pristine=true/dirty=false after removing all array items.
Problem
Scenario with FieldArray:
{ items: ['a', 'b', 'c'] }{ items: [] }Root cause: When using FieldArray, only individual items (
items[0],items[1]) are registered as fields, not the array itself (items). Final-form only tracked dirty state for registered fields, so when all items were removed (no registered fields exist), the form appeared pristine.Solution
After checking registered fields for dirty state, also check all unregistered top-level keys in values vs initialValues:
This ensures changes to unregistered fields (like the array field when using FieldArray) are properly tracked as dirty.
