updating a value in an each loop doesn't work under specific circumstances

Here is my repro:

Description
Somehow when binding to $form it doesn't have the correct form value inside the onUpdate fn.

<form use:enhance method="post">
	{#each $form.priceRules ?? [] as priceRule}
		<!-- this doesn't work (only when updating another form field afterwards: -->
		<PriceSelection bind:selectedItem={priceRule.priceCategory} />

		<!-- this works: -->
		<!-- <PriceSelection bind:selectedItem={$form.priceRules[0].priceCategory} /> -->
	{/each}

	<button type="submit">submit</button>
</form>

Yes, you cannot bind to a loop variable as that breaks the bind reference. Use the direct reference instead, as in your working example.

You'll need to use the index for the each loop like this:

{#each $form.priceRules ?? [] as _, i}

In svelte 4 it worked though for some reason. Do you know why?

My problem is that I get a type error because if I do an array access [0] with noUncheckedIndexedAccess enabled it can be undefined and I can't bind to a value if it contains a [0]?. check

I created a demo with the exact same components and files but with Svelte 4 and this time it works as expected.

Is it something that needs to be fixed or can't we do anything about it because of some Svelte 5 limitation?

@ciscoheat I'm sorry to bother again but we're in the middle of a Svelte 5 upgrade and can't proceed because of this issue.

1. What I'm wondering about is that while the $form store is updating correctly and reactively the form param inside the onUpdate callback is not up to date

2. This issue seems to only occur in Svelte 5, that's why it seems to me like a bug

3. If I use the index to bind to the form (to solve the issue) I get a type error because if I do an array access [0] with noUncheckedIndexedAccess enabled it can be undefined and I can't bind to a value if it contains a [0]?. check

[ciscoheat]

Creating a component that is used inside, or instead of, the each loop can be a way to make it work.

I created an issue in the Svelte repo and they acknowledged that it's a Svelte bug
