I am trying to bind from my PromptingTextInput comonent back to a
data model and I am having some trouble. I tried to do it the normal
way that I do it with the TextInput component and it doesn't seem to
work. I set up this example to illustrate what I am talking about.
Is there another way to do this?? Or is it possible to modify the
PromptingTextInput to match the functionality of the TextInput?
Thanks, Kevin
