Show value in coral textfield only once

Question

Hi,

I want to show the value in a Coral Text field only for the first time when the component is dropped and author opens the dialog. After first submit it should hold the value that has been authored in the dialog(any value or EMPTY).

Currently I am using value property to textfield and the behaviour is, if the author empty the field value and submit the dialog, on dialog re-open the filed is being populated with value that has been set in dialog properties.

Is there a way that we can set the default value only once for the first time? I don't see the defaultValue property in the documentation.

TextField — Granite UI 1.0 documentation

Field — Granite UI 1.0 documentation

Thank you.

value property added to dialog textfield provides default value, when author open dialog

1. If author empty the default value added & submit dialog then the field value will be posted & stores as blank. if author reopens the dialog then author will see empty value.

2. If author leaves default value as is & submit dialog then default value will be posted & stored. if author reopens the dialog then author will see default value prepopulated.

There will be no possibility that author remove/empty the default value, submit & then when author reopens the dialog its prepopulating the default value again.

<title
        jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
        sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/form/textfield"
        fieldDescription="Configure form title"
        fieldLabel="Form Title"
        value="Form Title"
        name="./title"/>
