Updating the value of an text input box which is part of a listview

[idan_cohen]

Hi
I am trying to set the value of an text input which is part of a listview
for example txReply[2].setValue("TEST"); but it does not work
Could not find information about it

i managed to get the values of the text intput using instancevalues, but it is only readonly

Thanks

Try specifying the textInput component name directly.

textInput1.setValue('test')

Thanks
But this updates only the first textinput
i need to update the textinput of {{ i }}

Hi, you can use a temporary state as a mutable data source for a ListView. The key idea is to initialize the ListView's values through the temporary state. This allows you to easily modify the ListView data by simply updating the temporary state.

For a detailed, step-by-step guide on making ListViews editable, refer to this blog article.

Hey @idan_cohen,

Nested components cannot be referenced outside of a given repeatable (doc here)

However, you can reference it directly from the handle event of your button. So basically textInput1.setValue('test') from a repeatable's component, rather than from a js query (which can't access the repeatable's components)
