I can’t initiate a user input field in a form, using existing data. This initial data is needed to enable the user to see the previous data he is willing to update.

Hey,

Did you try using any of those properties of TextInput component? https://www.wix.com/code/reference/$w.TextInput.html#value https://www.wix.com/code/reference/$w.TextInput.html#placeholder

It’s pretty easy to use and works for me:

$w.onReady(function () {
    $w('#input1').value = 'lorem ipsum'
});

You can do the same with your user data once you have it fetched. Also it can be done using data binding UI if you have a dataset that already contains data you need it should be trivial.

Let me know if it helps

Thanks, I already managed with a similar syntax.
