Default textbox value

Hi there,

I was wondering if there will be support within the form editor for default textbox values just like the hidden field values.

Kind regards,
Johan van Leur

Hi Johan,

Please explain a bit more?

Hi Johan,

you can open the form HTML code after its created and add the value to the code!

Hi,

Yes, i know i can open the code but for me it's not a problem.
The clients want to make his own forms but also with some default or prefilled values in the textboxes.
I think we can instruct the clients to do some actions to set a prefilled value from a php variable or text but we cannot let the client edit the html code (if he really doesn't have to)

The best thing should be a normal text value or a $variable.
Maybe it's possible to create a variable/array with parameters that can be filled and use these for prefilling : {_CF['myvar']} whould be $_CF['myvar']
Then before opening the form i could set some default values in this array and the form engine could use these.

You think this can be done? i think this would make the product even better.

Kind regards,

Hi Johan,

I hear you, I think its better to add this to the wizard directly, may be by the next release!🙂

so in the current version, what is the recommended way to have DEFAULT text inside the form fields?

Hi Aaron,

Add it by hand in the Form HTML

I dont know if this helps but it seems somewhat similar to a problem I had a little while ago,

prepopulating the form on-load from values in the database.
