I have a form that can be used to add or update data using RHF and useActionState. I need to pass a variable so the server action can differentiate the type action. So, my question is how to add a variable to formData or is there better way to do this?

Use a type="hidden" field for it.

And, of course, validate it server-side accordingly.
