# setInput

Sets input values for the form or a specific field programmatically.

```ts
setInput<TSchema>(form, config);
setInput<TSchema, TFieldPath>(form, config);
```

## Generics

- `TSchema` <Property {...properties.TSchema} />
- `TFieldPath` <Property {...properties.TFieldPath} />

## Parameters

- `form` <Property {...properties.form} />
- `config` <Property {...properties.config} />

### Explanation

The `form` parameter is the form store to set input on. The `config` parameter specifies the path to the field and the new input values to set.

> `setInput` updates the **current input** (what the user is editing), but it does not change the **initial input** (the baseline used for `isDirty`). If your baseline data changes (e.g. after refetching from the server), prefer <Link href="../reset/">`reset`</Link> with a new `initialInput`.
