Angular reactive Form error: Must supply a value for form control with name:

by

This error can appear if you’re using setValue on a formGroup but not passing in a value for every control within that group. For example:

let group = new FormGroup({
  foo: new FormControl(''), 
  bar: new FormControl('')
});
group.setValue({foo: 'only foo'}); //breaks
group.setValue({foo: 'foo', bar: 'bar'}); //works

If you truly want to only update some of the controls on the group, you can use patchValue instead:

group.patchValue({foo: 'only foo, no problem!'});
