Auto Fill (Editable) Text Prompt

    Hi there,

    I'm working on a script that will prompt the user for input but will auto fill with the output of another function in the script.

    Is there some clever code to make a popupText box auto fill with data from a variable? I'd also like to be able to edit that auto fill data before confirming entry.

    var adrLine = sf.interaction.popupText({
        title: 'ADR Line'
    }).text;

    Many thanks,

    Iain

      @Iain_Anderson, to be able to edit an auto-filled string in a prompt I suggest using displayDialog.

      Here's a simple example:

      function getAdr() {
    return "ADR Line"
}

const adr = getAdr();

const adrLine = sf.interaction.displayDialog({
    prompt: "Enter ADR Line",
    defaultAnswer: adr, // This is the auto-fill
}).text

      Alternatively, you can pass the function directly to popupText if it makes sense to do so in the context of your script:

      function getAdr() {
    return "ADR Line"
}

const adrLine = sf.interaction.displayDialog({
    prompt: "Enter ADR Line",
    defaultAnswer: getAdr(),
}).text

      Hope that helps!
