Hey,

I'm wondering if it would be possible to reset Radix Checkbox checked state on form.reset() action, exactly as it works with plain elements?

I am not sure if it's a limitation due to how React works or it's a bug or a feature request issue so apologies again if it's in wrong place.

You can see current behaviour in below code sandbox:

Thanks,

I did some quick research on this one.

At first glance it seems it shouldn't be too difficult:

• We need to keep the first value it had when mounted
• We can grab the parent form thanks to the auto-assigned .form property on inputs, via a ref on our checkbox root.
• We can attach a reset event handler to it and then reset that to that value we kept

Also, this is probably something we need to do across the board, thinking for example of Switch or Slider.
