Set value of text input field

Function: Set value of text input field​

This action allows you to automatically fill in or change the text displayed within a specific text input field on your application's forms. It's incredibly useful for pre-populating information, updating fields based on other actions, or clearing fields to prepare for new input.

Input​

  • UI element (Required): This is the specific text input field on your form that you want to modify. You need to select or reference the exact text input component where the value will be set.
  • Answer: This is the text you want to place into the chosen text input field. If you leave this blank, the field will be cleared (its value will be set to an empty text).

Output​

This action does not produce a direct output value. Instead, its effect is visible on your application's form: the specified "UI element" (the text input field) will be updated with the provided "Answer".

Execution Flow​

Real-Life Examples​

Example 1: Pre-filling a customer's name in an order form

  • Scenario: After a user logs in, you want to automatically fill their name into the "Customer Name" field on an order form to save them time.
  • Inputs:
    • UI element: "Customer Name Input Field" (the specific text input component on your order form)
    • Answer: "Jane Doe" (retrieved from the logged-in user's profile)
  • Result: The "Customer Name Input Field" on the order form will automatically display "Jane Doe".

Example 2: Clearing a search field after a search is performed

  • Scenario: A user enters a search term, clicks "Search", and after the results are displayed, you want to clear the search input field so they can easily enter a new term without manually deleting the previous one.
  • Inputs:
    • UI element: "Product Search Field" (the text input component where users type their search query)
    • Answer: (Leave this blank)
  • Result: The "Product Search Field" will become empty, ready for a new search term.

Example 3: Displaying a dynamic status message in a feedback form

  • Scenario: After a user submits feedback, you want to display a confirmation message directly within a text field on the form, indicating that their submission was successful and providing a reference number.
  • Inputs:
    • UI element: "Feedback Status Display" (a text input field used to show messages to the user)
    • Answer: "Thank you for your feedback! Your submission has been received. Reference: #12345"
  • Result: The "Feedback Status Display" field will show the message "Thank you for your feedback! Your submission has been received. Reference: #12345" to the user.
