In vue-tel-input v8+, activeCountryCode was accessible and updatable through ref which was convenient to dynamically update the country code. This is not possible anymore in V9 and there is no real alternative to this. My suggestion would be to add a custom v-model like : ```vue <script setup> import {ref} from 'vue' const activeCountryCode = ref('+1') </script> <template> <VueTelInput v-model:active-country-code="activeCountryCode" /> </template> ``` This way we have a 2 way flow for the country code and we can reset it as we please.
