Trying to set default value on a form control with data from external API call, but it does not update the form control value when the data is fetched.
Did find a solution to this using Effect, but wondering if anyone else has a more elegant solution.
I assume this is because I am using ProvideExperimentalZonelessChangeDetection()

No. It's because fetching data from a server is asynchronous. So when you initialize your form (immediately after sending the request), the response hasn't been received yet.

Okey, thx for info.
Would using Effect be okey here do you think?
It works, just wondering if it's a bad pattern

Your company signal looks useless. I would simply subscribe to the observable and populate the form from there.

The code is simplified as an example.
The signal is being used in my template and component
