Smart Actions and input values : TextArea + default value in select

[XavierColombel]

• Is there a way to show a textarea instead a input ?

• Is there a way to set a default value to a select instead “Select a value” ?

Hi @XavierColombel,

• If you go to the Field Settings, in the Edit Settings there is a text area (https://docs.forestadmin.com/documentation/reference-guide/fields/customize-your-fields/edit-widgets#textarea)

• For the select why would you want that while you can just use the defaultValue of sequelize. It will be used by the front too if it’s a simple value

Hi @vince sorry but I talked about Smart Actions, not Widgets. Here is the docs : https://docs.forestadmin.com/documentation/reference-guide/actions/create-and-manage-smart-actions#handling-input-values

Thanks for the defaultValue , it’s working !

Oh okey so in this case try to add

actions:[{
  ...,
  fields: [{
    ...,
    widget: 'text area',
  }],
}],

On the field where you want the text area

@vince

widget: 'text area'

Wonderful Thanks @vince
