currently what i can think of is using context provider and on the field pick up the value being set by the custom component (not ideal)
another way to set the value in localstorage and the child field just pick the value (also not ideal)

is there official way of doing it like useField hooks, i check the useFormFields it doesn't contain any field that render from modal (child form)

found a better way, just setup a virtual field, stringify object value into the virtual field, then in the child form, useEditDepth to check whether the form is not in root form, if so find the virtual fieldname and get the value.
