Description:

• When we have one field A using dependsOn with another field B, we can make field A change using the value of field B.
• At the same time, we can change field A by inputting a value.

What happens then, is that while we're writing a new value of A, the request is finally processed and the field value of A changes, erasing the input:

Gravacio.de.pantalla.2023-11-28.a.les.13.54.52.mov

Our proposal is that we use an icon such a the next one to indicate that the value is being calculated and is waiting for a response from the BE. Nowadays there is no warning in this sense.

In case this is not possible to do for every field, at least it would be good for you to add an event that is triggered when the request is made, in nova/resources/js/mixins/DependentFormField.js:

The same way you're doing it now with onSyncedField:

This way we could implement whatever functionality we need whenever the request is made.

Detailed steps to reproduce the issue on a fresh Nova installation:

Have a field A depend on a field B. Then change value of B, and change value of A before the request has received a response.
