The select callback is triggered a second time and the magritte component gets resetted and that is the reason I can't see the value. I'm not sure what is the best solution to it. Is it possible to submit only a subset of the form fields? Otherwise I need to detect this case somehow.

That wouldn't work. I need only one text input because the selected class is the simplest one of all possible. For every other case there will be multiple form elements that form a new instance. So the delegating component needs to be agnostic of the selected instance. As it is a select I just switch cases and there is no need to reset the child component unless the selection has changed. This way it works quite ok.
