next JS apollo Link change clears query, have to refresh page for query to run

Question

I am using Next JS with Apollo and I hve the following query that works just fine, but when I navigate away from the page to another page and back the query doesn't run my fields are empty and I have to hit refresh to populate them. Does anyone know why this may be.

import { useQuery, gql, useMutation } from "@apollo/client";
import { useEffect, useState } from "react";
import { v4 as uuidv4 } from "uuid";
import Form from "../components/Form";
import Layout from "../components/Layout";

export const INPUT_VALUES = gql`
  query GetInputValues {
    allFormInputVals {
      data {
        name
        _id
        type
        index
      }
    }
  }
`;

const FormBuilder = () => {
  const blankFormInput = {
    __typename: "FormInputVal",
    name: "test",
    _id: uuidv4(),
    type: "text",
  };
  const [formState, setFormState] = useState([blankFormInput]);

  const { loading, error, data } = useQuery(INPUT_VALUES);

  useEffect(() => {
    const formData = data?.allFormInputVals?.data;
    setFormState(formData);
  }, [data]);

  if (loading) return <p>Loading...</p>;

  if (error) return <p>Error: {error.message}</p>;

  return (
    <Layout>
      {formState && <Form formState={formState} setFormState={setFormState} />}
    </Layout>
  );
};

export default FormBuilder;

Answer 1

We proved (see comments) that data derived from useQuery is logged properly and passed into <Form/> (child component).

The problem was in not reinitializing form state [managing/helper] hook (useForm). It should be solved with effect:

const { register, handleSubmit, errors, reset } = useForm({ defaultValues: test });

useEffect(() => {
  reset(defaultValues: test);
}, [formState])

This hooke resets form state/data on formState prop change.
