The problem is this: I have a form, people enter values and submit, if there is an error I would like the form fields to be pre-populated from whatever was entered rather than typing the form all over again. Is there any way Intake can help. For example: if I say <input type="text" name="$docGroup.Name.Key" value="$!docGroup.Name"> will the value be retained with what was submitted. Or do I have to say $data.parameters.getString($docGroup.Name.Key)?
The problem is not that I have to write this function but during modification of object attributes. In that case, the first time the data should be populated from the bean but later on from the parameter parser. For example let's say that Description attribute was "foo", so the first time the form screen will show "foo" in the text box. Now the user changes it to "bar" and submits and lets say that there was an error in a different field so that the form gets shown again. However, we still want "bar" to be shown, not foo. If there was a way to specify how the group gets populated from a parameter parser (we already know howfrom Bean) this problem can be solved very easily. Am I making sense?
