Hi Helix84,
I think I am nearly there with this code:
if (email.isEmpty()) {
Text email_address = identity.addItem().addText("email");
email_address.setRequired();
email_address.setLabel(T_email_address);
email_address.setValue("[email protected]");
} else {
identity.addLabel(T_email_address);
identity.addItem(email);
}
But it does not send the value back to the server through the form.
I need to a textbox as I need to let the user edit the dummy email
address and have this saved.
Is there any documentation on this area?
Regards,
Ben

I understand.

Exactly what I suggested.

You have to keep the input field and its name (email) because it's also the
name of the form parameter.
So, what you probably need to do (I didn't try it) is to change:
identity.addLabel(T_email_address);
identity.addItem(email);
to something like this
identity.addLabel(T_email_address);
if (email == null) { // well, either null or an empty string, not sure
identity.addItem("[email protected]");
} else {
identity.addItem(email);
}
