Variable assigned inside subscribe is undefined outside subscribe

[fast quarry]

I am assigning a variable inside a subscribe of one of my observables although when I call the variable outside the subscribe it is returning undefined

g!codeblock @fast quarry Don't do that. Use the AyncPipe to get values out of an Observable in Angular. Also show code for better advice

The reason behind doing it in typescript is because I am using a form builder and need one of the input values to be a specific string but formcontrolname wont let me input a value

@fast quarry, you can use the following snippet to have your code formatted and colored by Discord. Replace ts with the language you need (i.e. html, js, css, etc)
```ts
// your code goes here
```

Observable subscribe:

test.subscribe(element => {
      return element.test;
    })

HTML:

<form [formGroup]="testForm" (ngSubmit)="onSubmit()">
                <fieldset class="uk-fieldset">

                    <div *ngFor = "let t of test | async" class="uk-margin">
                        <input id="test"
                        formControlName="test"
                        class="form-control" 
                        [value]="t.test"
                        type="text" 
                        placeholder="test" 
                        aria-label="Input">
                    </div>
                </fieldset>
              </form>

1. You cannot return from a Subscription callback.
2. You shouldn't mix [value]= with Angular Forms.
3. Without the context of your code I cannot help.

Show more code if you want help. The whole component, or at least every part relevant to this <form>
