Hi,

I have this message in logs:

```javascript
DEPRECATION WARNING: Declaring `values` in a Smart Action is deprecated. Please use `load` hook.

```

Do you have any information about it?

“meta”: {  
“database\_type”: “MongoDB”,  
“liana”: “forest-express-mongoose”,  
“liana\_version”: “6.6.2”,  
“engine”: “nodejs”,  
“engine\_version”: “12.19.0”,  
“orm\_version”: “5.11.8”  
}

Thanks for reaching out @guillaumejauffret 🙏🏼

You have an eagle eye 🦅 We just released a new beta version of our Smart Actions (with forms).  
Using hooks, it is now possible to make the form fields dynamic upon:

- **Form loading -** Load hook (fields can be pre-filled, given default values depending on the record)
- **Form fields change -** Change hook (fields values or dropdown options are now dynamic and depend on other fields’ values)

The recently introduced **Load hook** is a more powerful way to assign default values to your Smart Action form’s fields. This explains the deprecation message you are getting in the logs.

This is documented [here](https://docs.forestadmin.com/documentation/reference-guide/actions/create-and-manage-smart-actions#making-a-form-dynamic), feel free to reach out again if you need any help!

I remember 🙂

Apologies for not getting in touch earlier on your thread - [Use dynamic enums in smart action field](https://community.forestadmin.com/t/use-dynamic-enums-in-smart-action-field/1401).  
I wanted to test it out first since your use case includes related data with a reference.

We’ll be back with more examples and snippets in the next few weeks on our [Woodshop (Code Samples)](https://docs.forestadmin.com/woodshop/) 🤓
