How to get the current value and update the state (Object) of a Parent component in Children component

I have this state in my Parent component

const [formData, setFormData] = useState({
    firstName: "",
    middleInitial: "",
    lastName: "",
    imageFile: "",
    extension: "",
    mobileNumber: "",
    email: "",
    agreement1: false,
    agreement2: false,
    agreement3: false,
  });

and I pass it into the Child Component as a props but having an issue changing the value of agreement1 , agreement2 and agreement3 which is a Boolean

 setFormData({ ...formData, firstName: e.target.value })

This is the code in the Child Component to update the state into the Parent Component and it works perfectly fine. but when I try to update the Boolean I don't know how to access the previous boolean value before updating it.

I want to do something like this.

setBooleanValue((prevVal)=> !prevVal)

so every time I click on it . I toggle the value of the boolean

setFormData({...formData,agreement2: (prevVal) => !prevVal})

I try this but it doesn't work as expected

you can try using the state update function as below:

setFormData((prev) => ({...prev,agreement2: !prev.agreement2}))
