.select is gone again from text inputs

This was already discussed in:

And it was suposingly brought back, and I might be missing something and maybe it was renamed, I just can’t find that simple function.

And it’s a big time saver to simply be able to click on a text field and be able to just start typing without having to do any extra action.

I am on cloud version.

Hey there @CristianDan welcome back! :raising_hands:

Good news, .select() is still here and was not renamed. You can call it two ways:

  1. In JS (any query or handler): textInput1.select()
  2. On focus, so entering the field selects its text: on the Text Input add an event handler, set Event = Focus, Action = Run script, and Script = textInput1.select() (swap in your input's name).

Give that a try and let me know how it behaves! :+1:
