You are right @Noisycall .

From FinalForm Docs The value given here will override any initialValues given to the entire form. and this was not happen.

This bug caused by registerField method in final-form package, if I was right it's on this line of code. while form initialize field will not be initialized. @erikras please correct me and if it possible to guide me to solve this. I'm Able to open PR for this

Could we somehow retain both behaviors? I'm working off the situation where my fields have default values which are used when there is no form-level initial values, i.e. the first time a user sees the form. Once the user changes and saves some values for later (without submitting yet), I want these to take precedent when the user is back working on the form. Hope this makes sense.
