TextArea Doesn't Reflect Value

[brianzjj]

Hi,

I've run into a very simple bug but I don't seem to be able to fix it or get around it.

I have a Form inside a Stepped Container, and the form contains a TextArea component (frm_email_to). I've also set up a query (in this example, a Retool AI query), which only contains {{ frm_email_to.value }}.

Now, when I type some values in frm_email_to, the following behavior happens:

• When I hover over the {{ frm_email_to.value }} in the query, it shows the correct value ("fffffff")
  
  
• When I click into {{ frm_email_to.value }} in the query, it shows an empty string
  
  
• When I hover over the {{ frm_email_to.value }} in the query, it shows the correct "value" property
  
  
• When I access the value property of frm_email_to in the debug console, it shows the correct value
  

As a follow-up test, I changed the value from "fffffff" to "new value":

• When I hover over the {{ frm_email_to.value }} in the query, it shows the correct value ("new value")
  
  
• When I click into {{ frm_email_to.value }} in the query, it shows an empty string
  
  
• When I hover over the {{ frm_email_to.value }} in the query, it shows the correct "value" property
  
  
• When I access the value property of frm_email_to in the debug console, it shows the correct value
  

I can DM a JSON export if needed.

Another example below.

frm_email_to has an original value of "sadfafdsfd". When I click in {{ frm_email_to.value }} in the query, the string shows the correct value:

When I modify frm_email_to to "third" and click in {{ frm_email_to.value }} in the query, the string shows the previous value ("sadfafdsfd"):

Hi @brianzjj,

Thanks for reporting this issue you're running into. Your coworker, @sgodoshian, joined Office Hours today and explained your use case. I'd like to create a bug report for this. If you can, please DM me a JSON export of your app. What day was the email sent to the wrong address and what version if you are self hosted? Thanks!
