Cannot read property 'setValue' of undefined | Angular - html

Question

I am having an issue with my HTML component, for some reason the my method is displaying an error:
Cannot read property 'setValue' of undefined when I click the edit button, however everything seems to be ok.
This is my HTML
<div *ngFor="let item of currentUser.myExperiences" class="mt-3">
<div>
<h6>{{item.companyName}} <span *ngIf="item.currentlyWorking" class="badge badge-warning">Currently
working</span>
<span class="float-right">
<a class="text-warning cursor" (click)="openEditModal(item)"><i class="fas fa-pencil-alt"></i></a>
</span>
</h6>
<p class="text-muted p-text-sm">{{item.functions}}</p>
<p class="text-muted p-text-sm" *ngIf="item.references">
<strong>References:</strong>
{{item.references}}
</p>
<hr>
</div>
</div>
<form role="form" [formGroup]="updateForm">
<div class="form-group">
<label for="functions">Funtions</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="functions" name="functions" formControlName="functions" aria-describedby="emailHelp">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="exampleInputPassword1">Password</label>
<input type="password" class="form-control" id="exampleInputPassword1">
</div>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Submit</button>
</form>
This is my TS component:
public openEditModal(myExperience: IMyExperience): void {
console.log(myExperience);
// Set values to controls
console.log(myExperience.id);
this.experienceId.setValue(myExperience.id);
this.companyName.setValue(myExperience.companyName);
this.functions.setValue(myExperience.functions);
this.workedYears.setValue(myExperience.workedYears);
this.references.setValue(myExperience.references);
this.currentlyWorking.setValue(myExperience.currentlyWorking);
this.updateForm.setValue({
experienceId: this.experienceId.value,
companyName: this.companyName.value,
functions: this.functions.value,
workedYears: this.workedYears.value,
references: this.references.value,
currentlyWorking: this.currentlyWorking.value
});
// Open the modal
this.modalRef = this.modalService.show(
this.editModal,
Object.assign({}, { class: 'gray modal-lg' })
);}
I tried displaying in console the object, but it works perfectly, however I am not sure why this is happening.
I use resolvers to pass information from the route to the component properly.
Thanks in advance.

Try to use this.updateForm.patchValue instead of this.updateForm.setValue.
