Changing trigger on a text entry from default?
- 3 months ago
You can't change or delete the "When text entry loses focus" trigger directly, but you can disable it. However, disabling this trigger may not be practical unless the text entry field's value is being set through external JavaScript code.
"Text entry losing focus" refers to the situation where the cursor (focus) in the text input field moves away, usually because the user clicks elsewhere or another event causes the focus to shift (e.g., switching to another field, clicking outside the input box).
If you want to update the text entry field’s value without losing focus, you'll need to use JavaScript to dynamically update the field's value as the user types or based on other events.
Pressing the Enter or Tab key will shift the focus to another field and update its value, as long as the "When text entry loses focus" trigger is enabled. No special or separate trigger is needed in this case.Just keep in mind that pressing the Enter key may cause unwanted behavior in built-in interactions involving data entry fields, as it often triggers premature form submissions or other actions. You may need to handle this scenario explicitly to prevent such issues.
