Afform - Fix live-update of token-based field defaults - #36439
Merged

identifyTokens() returns a Set (since 575232f), which has .size not .length. The guard was therefore always undefined/falsy, so the watcher that recalculates the default whenever a source field changes was never registered. Regressed by: 575232f (Afform - fix token replacement if multiple instances of same token) Fixes dev/core#6674

Overview
Fix live-update of token-based
afform_defaultfield values which regressed in 6.16 via #35562.Fixes dev/core#6674
Before
When a field's default value contains a token referencing another field (e.g.
[Contact.1.first_name]), the target field should recalculate its value whenever the source field changes. This was silently broken.After
Live-update works as designed.
Technical Details
575232f changed
afForm.identifyTokens()to return aSetinstead of an array, but the existing code was still checking for.length.Setobjects don't have a.lengththey have a.size(thanks javascript) sotokens.lengthwas alwaysundefined(falsy), so the$watchCollectionwatcher that drives live-updating was never registered.
