I’m a shadcn ui and react newbie, just tell me why the value of branch and year state variables won’t update. I’m not using zod and react-hook-form.

import React, { useState } from "react";
import { Button } from '../components/ui/button'
import {
    Select,
    SelectContent,
    SelectGroup,
    SelectItem,
    SelectTrigger,
    SelectValue,
} from "@/components/ui/select"
import { Label } from "@/components/ui/label"

export default function CreateProfile() {
    const [fileName, setFileName] = useState(""); // State to store the selected file name
    const [branch, setBranch] = useState('cse'); // State to store the selected branch
    const [year, setYear] = useState('2nd'); // State to store the selected year

    const handleSubmit = async (e) => {
        e.preventDefault();
        // Add the logic to save the data to the database
        console.log({ fileName, branch, year });
    }

    return (

  1. I am not familiar withshadcn,So I have replaced Custom components with HTML elements and this code works as expected and we are getting expected values in state.

    import React, { useState } from 'react';
    export default function CreateProfile() {
        const [fileName, setFileName] = useState(""); // State to store the selected file name
        const [branch, setBranch] = useState('cse'); // State to store the selected branch
        const [year, setYear] = useState('2nd'); // State to store the selected year
    
        const handleSubmit = async (e) => {
            e.preventDefault();
            // Add the logic to save the data to the database
            console.log({ fileName, branch, year });
        }
    
        return (
            <>
                <section className='bg-[#09090b] min-h-screen p-12 flex-col flex items-center justify-center'>
                    <h1 className="text-4xl font-bold text-white capitalize scroll-m-20 lg:text-5xl">

  2. shadcn is build above radix

    "Select" is not a normal html tag
    it a "radix" component

    defaultValue={branch} instead of value={branch}

    and

    onValueChange={value=> setBranch(value)} instead of onChange={(e) => setBranch(e.target.value)}

    that simple
