This needs more information than just saying it doesn't work. Could you use codesandbox to make a reproducing example?

Here is the codesandbox I used:

I changed the value of state.text to "test" in React-Devtools but the change isn't reflected in the input field. I uploaded a screenshot below.

@thisisDom I can't reproduce the issue.
Did you by any chance forgot to press Enter after you entered the text?
thisisDom commentedon Nov 8, 2019
Yeah looks like that was my issue. In the previous version, I could click out of the console and it would update. Thank you
