 `Form.Submit`, `Form.Reset`, and `Form.SubmitError` are aliases of the exported `SubmitButton`, `ResetButton`, and `SubmitError` components. This guide uses the `Form.*` names consistently; importing a standalone name does not select a different implementation.
 
+`name` uses the surrounding form, or an explicit `form={form}` outside it. Tuple names accept string and numeric segments and readonly arrays; inline tuples do not need memoization. Names are not checked against the surrounding controller's model because React context cannot infer its type. Tuple names require a modern controller; legacy forms retain string names and dot notation.
+
 A descriptor is pure configuration, so creating it inline is expected. It neither reads state nor registers a field; the mounted input registers after commit. It supplies the controller and path even outside the root, so adding `form` or `name` to the same input is unnecessary. If both are present, the descriptor wins. Descriptor options override only matching options they supply. In particular, descriptor `rules` or `validate` replaces input-level `rules`; put built-in rules and a custom validator together on the descriptor to run both.
 
 Controller values and defaults take precedence over field defaults, including explicit `null` and `undefined`. Root callbacks override the corresponding hook callback while mounted; omitted or undefined root callbacks fall back to the hook callback. Business callbacks update after every committed render. Defaults, `errorPolicy`, and diagnostic handlers are creation options; update values through commands and override error policy per field when needed.

 For a wizard, validate a step before unmounting it and choose `submitValues="all"` if previous steps belong in the final payload. That does not revalidate unmounted steps.

-Bind nested leaves with tuples: `field={form.field(['rows', index, 'email'])}`. A string such as `'user.email'` is one literal key, not dot notation. Numeric indices and numeric string segments address the same path. Removing an array path does not shift the other indices. Registering a parent object makes its complete value active; register leaf paths when only selected children belong in the active payload. Known literal paths are typechecked; widened dynamic paths are supported. The declaration surface requires TypeScript 5.4 or newer.

 # Modern Form: choose the API for the job
 
-For a new modern form, start with `Form.useController<Model>()`, bind inputs with `field={form.field(path)}`, and submit through `<Form onSubmit={...}>` and `<Form.Submit>`. Add subscriptions only where other UI needs to read form state. The input components already subscribe to their own values and errors.
+For a new modern form, start with `Form.useController<Model>()`, bind inputs with `name="email"` or a nested tuple such as `name={['user', 'email']}`, and submit through `<Form onSubmit={...}>` and `<Form.Submit>`. Add subscriptions only where other UI needs to read form state. The input components already subscribe to their own values and errors. `field={form.field(path)}` is an optional alternative when you want model-checked paths, input value compatibility checks, or inferred custom-validator types.
 
 Existing `Form.useForm()` forms and roots without a modern controller use the legacy backend. Follow the [migration checklist](https://github.com/cube-js/cube-ui-kit/blob/main/docs/modern-form-migration.md) when converting one. `DialogForm` still requires a legacy instance; do not pass a modern controller through a cast.

 `Form.Submit`, `Form.Reset`, and `Form.SubmitError` are aliases of the exported `SubmitButton`, `ResetButton`, and `SubmitError` components. This guide uses the `Form.*` names consistently; importing a standalone name does not select a different implementation.
 
+`name` uses the surrounding form, or an explicit `form={form}` outside it. Tuple names accept string and numeric segments and readonly arrays; inline tuples do not need memoization. Names are not checked against the surrounding controller's model because React context cannot infer its type. Tuple names require a modern controller; legacy forms retain string names and dot notation.
+
 A descriptor is pure configuration, so creating it inline is expected. It neither reads state nor registers a field; the mounted input registers after commit. It supplies the controller and path even outside the root, so adding `form` or `name` to the same input is unnecessary. If both are present, the descriptor wins. Descriptor options override only matching options they supply. In particular, descriptor `rules` or `validate` replaces input-level `rules`; put built-in rules and a custom validator together on the descriptor to run both.
 
 Controller values and defaults take precedence over field defaults, including explicit `null` and `undefined`. Root callbacks override the corresponding hook callback while mounted; omitted or undefined root callbacks fall back to the hook callback. Business callbacks update after every committed render. Defaults, `errorPolicy`, and diagnostic handlers are creation options; update values through commands and override error policy per field when needed.

 For a wizard, validate a step before unmounting it and choose `submitValues="all"` if previous steps belong in the final payload. That does not revalidate unmounted steps. If final submission must validate every step against the latest data, keep the relevant inputs mounted or perform whole-payload validation explicitly. A form with no active fields is invalid.
