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.

cosmic,

I read your other duplicate Topic in the MODIFICATION FORUM...I am having a hard time understanding your problem...Not only are you probably using the wrong search terms, but awkward words to describe your problem.

Either re-explain with more details or provide a working URL, so that we can see what you are talking about.

Regards,

Hi Eliot--

Thanks for your reply. I appreciate your interest in my situation. Since I posted my messages, I've been tweaking the HTML of the add_error.html template and have been able to partially solve the repopulation problem of the textareas. I'm now trying to discover what I did to create the partial solution so that I can get it to work for all of the textareas. As soon as I figure it out, I'll post what I discovered along with a better description of the problem. I'm sure that old age and sleep deprivation are contributing factors.

Thanks again.

You're welcome...

Hope you figure out the solution.
