Set value of ANY form field

Function: Set value of ANY form field

This action allows you to dynamically update the content or selection of any form field in your application. Instead of a user manually typing or selecting, you can use this action to pre-fill fields, change selections based on other data, or clear fields.

Input

• UI element (PART): This is the specific form field component on your page that you want to modify. You must select a form field here.
• Answer (VARIABLE): This is the value you want to set for the chosen form field. The type of value you provide depends on the type of form field:
  • For text input fields (like text boxes, number fields, email fields, date fields, color pickers, dropdowns, radio buttons, sliders, password fields, URL fields), provide a single piece of text or a number.
  • For checkboxes or chips input fields, you can provide a list of text items.
  • For slide toggles, provide a True or False value.

Output

This action does not produce any direct output. It modifies the specified UI element directly within your application.
