hey, @kamranahmedse make sure you are registered at useEffect, otherwise, each render will refresh the registration. The latest patch introduce ref compare to avoid component unmount and remount problem.

This bug is caused by this PR (https://github.com/react-hook-form/react-hook-form/pull/1412). I will fix this. The same type error caused when FormValues is Record<string, any>: TypeScript Playground
