Bug: select field value resets to the first option after form submission with useActionState

[joshua-ots]

When using a <select> field within a form that uses useActionState, the selected value resets to the first option after the form is submitted, even though the value should persist as defaultValue is set. This behavior occurs only with the <select> field; other form fields (e.g., text inputs) retain their values correctly after submission.

React version: 19

Steps To Reproduce

1. Select 2 or 3 from the select field
2. Press the button to submit the form

The current behavior

After submission, the selected value resets to the first option (value='1').

The expected behavior

The selected value should persist.

Thanks for the input @joshua-ots, I discovered the same bug yesterday.
I have an edit form with many inputs and a select with several options. When I save this form, the inputs are updated the moment I click on the save button, but the select returns to the option before the save. Until the page is reloaded, the select does not show the correct option.
Please, I would like this bug to be fixed in React, as it is important that the select is updated at the time of saving.

I can confirm this happens too. It's very annoying

I come here after spending the whole morning debugging why the select element in a form behaved so differently from other inputs. Tried to replace defaultValue on select with defaultCheck on options it still resets to the very first default value but not the latest one.

I asked about that bug 2 weeks ago on StackOverflow. Hope we find a solution 😄 .

can this be only worked upon when the label Unconfirmed is removed?

Why, is it solved ?
