What is the best way to programmatically change a field value?

[morrisseybr]

I have some use cases when I want to get the value of the field and others when I want to programmatic change its value. I tried using useStore, useField, getFieldValue, and setFieldValue but all this seems redundant and not straightforward. Sometimes I have weird behaviors, and sometimes I need to put work around props (like explicit put touch: true).
So, there is any right way to do this? What the intention of expose all those apis? Can we discuss a simple way to do that?

It's super redundant right now and we need clearer guidance in our docs and beyond.

Use setFieldValue with {touch: true}. In the future we'll remove the touch API and maybe even mark getFieldValue as @deprecated to stop folks outside of our internal code from using it.
