Default Value of Text Input

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

Hello ! Is it possible to have a default value on a text field and also call out a variable? 

 

Or do i need to set me default value else where (On start?) and only have my variable in the default event?

    To join strings together you have to use the "&", or you can use the Concatenate function

    Hi @jubae22,

     

    Would you like to display 0 and the value of the variable? In this case you can use the & operator to concatenate the values:

    "0" & updatemonday

     

    If this solves your question, would you be so kind as to accept it as a solution & give it a thumbs up.

    Thanks!

    I only want to display the zero and the variable is for a onselect button to turn the value back to zero 

     

    I don't want it to display the double zeros as its doing now with the &

    Hi @jubae22,

     

    In that case, I think referencing the variable name should suffice:

    updatemonday

    Your right just the variable name did the trick for the default 0 but for some reason my variable is not running when I'm calling out the update context

    Maybe this will help to see what im trying to accomplish: 

     

    so i have this pop up if they click yes then it keeps the new value they entered... if they click no then it reverts the field back to "0"

    Hi @jubae22,

     

    In that case you could use the Reset function to reset a particular control back to its default value:

    Reset(TextInputMonday)
