I've tried to search for the answer to this problem, but haven't discovered one in the forums. Perhaps I'm not using the right search terms, but have decided to post this issue:

I have changed the add and modify templates (along with links.def) to include several multi-line text fields. If the user is presented with the add_error or modify_error screens due to some error they've made, the multi-line text fields don't repopulate. The single line fields repopulate just fine.

All I see in the multi-line fields of the error pages is the value expression (i.e. <%Short Description%> ) from the input tag.

Can anyone point me to the solution? Thanks.

If you mean "textbox" for the "multi-line" input field, then you need to use the following codes:


in your add_error.html and modify_error.html files.

Hey Eliot--

I got it to work using your instructions. Thanks a bunch.

I had <%Short Description%> in quotes in the value part of the statement instead of between the <textarea> and </textarea> tags.

Good...glad you got it to work.

You're welcome.
