Enable input field

Function: Enable input field​

This action allows you to make a specific input field on your application's screen editable and available for user interaction. When an input field is enabled, users can type into it, select options, or otherwise interact with it. This is useful for dynamically controlling which parts of your form or interface are active based on user choices or other conditions.

Input​

  • UI element: This is the specific input field on your application's screen that you want to enable. You must select an existing input field from your application's design.

Output​

This action does not produce any direct output that can be stored in a variable. Its effect is a change in the user interface, making the specified input field interactive.
