Problem with watching prop changes Vue.js - vue.js

Question

What's the problem
I wanted to assign a local component variable to prop. I constantly get Vue alert Invalid watch handler specified by key "undefined". Maybe the case is that the prop is passed from another component, where I use v-model, but I don't really know. I would really appreciate your help, because my small exercise project really depends on this mechanic.
Parent Component
Here I have some HTML select, this is where I actually model my state.selectedPhysicsModule
<template>
<div>
<div>
<h1>Some header</h1>
</div>
<form class="choosePhysicsModule">
<label for="selectedPhysicsModule"></label>
<select class="select_Module" id="selectedPhysicsModule" v-model="state.selectedPhysicsModule">
<option :value="option.value" v-for="(option, index) in importedListToSelect" :key="index">
{{option.name}}
</option>
</select>
</form>
<list_of_exercises v-if="state.selectedPhysicsModule" :what_exercises="state.selectedPhysicsModule"/>
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
name: 'ChoosePhysicsModule',
components: {list_of_exercises},
setup() {
const state = reactive({
selectedPhysicsModule: null,
})
return {
state,
importedListToSelect
}
}
}
Child Component
</script>
export default {
name: "list_of_exercises",
props: {
whatExercises: {
type: String,
required: true
}
},
data() {
return {
exercises: this.what_exercises,
}
},
watch: {
whatExercises: function () {
this.exercises = this.whatExercises
}
}

In the parent component where you are passing the prop you need to add a setter for the prop passed. Here is an example:
<template>
<div id="app">
<label>
<input name="whatExercises" v-model="whatExercises">
</label>
<ListOfExercises v-if="whatExercises" :what_exercises="whatExercises" />
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
data() {
return {
whatExercises: null,
}
}
}
</script>
P.S: as a side note, I recommend using camelCase for prop names. It's more in-line with the rest of the community. If you have time feel free to check out the style guide on the official website.
