value

To reset the text input, restoring any placeholder text, set the value property to null or undefined.

Changing a text input's value property to null or undefined will set the element's valid property to false and cause the element to visually indicate that it's contents are invalid. For example, a black outline might change to a red outline. You can remove this visual indication until the next time the element is updated by calling resetValidityIndication().

Notes:

• Changing a text input's value in code does not trigger an onChange event.

• Using the Input Settings panel in the Editor you can set the type of a text input. That type is used only for validation purposes. The value returned by the value property of a text input is always a string, regardless of the type set in the Editor.

• If an element is connected to a dataset, setting the element's value in code does not set the value of the connected field in the dataset. That means if you use the dataset to perform a submit, the value changed in code is not reflected in the submitted item.

• To submit the new value using a dataset, set the field's value using the setFieldValue() function before performing the submit.
