Minimal code example

Code sample

class MyForm extends StatefulWidget {
  const MyForm({super.key});

  @override
  _MyFormState createState() => _MyFormState();
}

class _MyFormState extends State<MyForm> {
  final _formKey = GlobalKey<FormBuilderState>();

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Padding(
      padding: const EdgeInsets.all(16.0),
      child: FormBuilder(
        key: _formKey,
        child: Column(
          children: <Widget>[
            FormBuilderDropdown(
              name: 'dropdown',
              decoration: const InputDecoration(
                labelText: 'Select Option',
              ),
              // hint: Text('Select Option'), // Optional
              items: const [
                DropdownMenuItem(
                  value: 'Option 1',
                  child: Text('Option 1'),
                ),
                DropdownMenuItem(
                  value: 'Option 2',
                  child: Text('Option 2'),
                ),
                DropdownMenuItem(
                  value: 'Option 3',
                  child: Text('Option 3'),
                ),
              ],
            ),
            const SizedBox(height: 20),
            ElevatedButton(
              onPressed: () {
                print("BEFORE RESET");
                print(_formKey.currentState?.value);
                _formKey.currentState?.reset();
                print("AFTER RESET");
                print(_formKey.currentState?.value);
              },
              child: const Text('Reset'),
            ),
          ],
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
}

Current Behavior

The dropdown field is not reverting to the initial value upon form reset. It instead retains the value that has been selected prior to reset.

Expected Behavior

Dropdown field should be reset to initial value when the form is reset

Steps To Reproduce

1. Run app
2. Dropdown field has initial value as null. Select an option
3. Press reset button

Aditional information

flutter: BEFORE RESET
flutter: {dropdown: Option 2}
flutter: AFTER RESET
flutter: {dropdown: Option 2}
