Set value of number field

Function: Set value of number field​

This action allows you to assign a specific numerical value to a Number Input Field on your form. It's useful for pre-filling fields, updating them based on calculations, or clearing their content. The updated value is then available for further processing within your application's logic.

Input​

  • UI element: The specific Number Input Field on your form that you want to update. This is a required input.
  • Answer: The numerical value you want to assign to the selected Number Input Field. This can be a fixed number or a value from another part of your application (e.g., a variable or the output of a previous action). If left empty, the field will be cleared.

Output​

This action does not produce a direct output that can be used in subsequent steps. It updates the specified Number Input Field on your form, and this change is reflected in the application's state.

Execution Flow​

Real-Life Examples​

Here are some practical ways you can use the "Set value of number field" action:

Example 1: Pre-filling a quantity field in an order form​

Imagine you have an order form where customers often order a default quantity of "1". You can use this action to automatically set the quantity.

  • Inputs:
    • UI element: Quantity Input Field (the number input field on your order form)
    • Answer: 1
  • Result: When the form loads or a specific event occurs, the "Quantity Input Field" on the order form will automatically display the value "1".

Example 2: Clearing a discount percentage after a promotion ends​

If a promotional discount has expired, you might want to clear the discount percentage field on a product editing page.

  • Inputs:
    • UI element: Discount Percentage Field (the number input field for discounts)
    • Answer: (leave this field empty)
  • Result: The "Discount Percentage Field" on the product editing page will be cleared, effectively removing any applied discount.

Example 3: Updating a calculated total score in a quiz application​

After a user completes a quiz, you might calculate their total score using other actions. You can then display this score in a dedicated "Total Score" field.

  • Inputs:
    • UI element: Total Score Display Field (the number input field where the final score is shown)
    • Answer: \{\{ quiz_score_variable \}\} (assuming quiz_score_variable holds the calculated score from a previous step)
  • Result: The "Total Score Display Field" on the quiz results page will show the numerical value stored in the quiz_score_variable.
