                <Field component="select" id="category" name="category" value={this.state.value} className={"form-control"} onChange={ this.handleChange }>
                   <option value="lokaler">Lokaler</option>

export default withFormik({
  enableReinitialize: true,
  mapPropsToValues({ category }) {
    return {      
      category: category || ''
    }
  },
    handleSubmit(values, { setStatus, setErrors }){
      console.log("data is this: "); 
      console.log(values); //here i am getting all form fields values except select value returning empty value

I also faced this problem yesterday. My problem was to submit form that contains ant design dropdown. I finally make it work after hours of:

• revisiting the Formik Docs
• watch Andrew Mead's video Better React Form with Formik again.
• also viewing Jared Palmer's Working with 3rd-party inputs #1: react-select

The doc said you need to set onChange, onBlur events to setFieldValue, setFieldTouched props respectively like 3rd-party input example:

<MySelect
    value={values.topics}
    onChange={setFieldValue}
    onBlur={setFieldTouched}
    error={errors.topics}
    touched={touched.topics}
/>

So to my problem, I need to change a bit:

<Select
  {...field}
  onChange={(value) => setFieldValue('fruitName', value)}
  onBlur={()=> setFieldTouched('fruitName', true)}
  value={values.fruitName}
  ...
>
...
</Select>

Hope this will help.
