Configuring Buttons to Insert Default Text in an Input Field in PowerApps

Hello,

I'm working with a text input field called textEmailMessage2 and need help setting up two buttons. The goal is that, when clicking one of the buttons, it inserts a specific default text into the textEmailMessage2 field; and when clicking the other button, it inserts a different default text, also configured for the same field.

Currently, I'm using the following code in the OnSelect event of the button: textEmailMessage2.Text = "default text". I also tried defining a variable, setting the Default property of textEmailMessage2 to "defaultText", and applying the following formula in the OnSelect event of the button: Set(defaultText, "default text"). However, the value is not being assigned to the textEmailMessage2 input field when clicking the button.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to resolve this situation?

Hi CU29101605-1

Firstly use a Context Variable
UpdateContext({varText: "Default Text"}); Reset(textEmailMessage2)

then the Default of the Text Box
varText

you would set varText to a different value on the other button
