Hi Harald,

At the moment, a text input’s default value can only be set to a fixed value.

That said, you can work around this by using an “On page open” event with the “Set value” action. This lets you assign a value as soon as a page or panel opens, based on a table selection, a variable, or any other data available in LCA.

Hi Sebastiaan,
I've done it in edit mode by clicking on DATA icon of text input component. By this all available data options on the right are highligthed and I used a variable which is linked to a selected table row field in event action of parent panel.

Yes, that works as well! Do note that it does not only act as a default value, but will also update the text input when the data changes.
