set_value

Set the value of a form field.

Example:

<input type="text" id="x" name="xyz" value="" />
{% button title="fill" action={set_value target="x" value="etaoinstrdlu"} %}

Clicking on the button will set the value of the input element to the most interesting string “etaoinstrdlu”.

This action can set the value of any input element, select or text area. It uses the jQuery val() method to set the value.
