Hi everyone,

Here is my Script.

$(document).ready(function(){
 
  $('.Single input').val(17737373);
  $('.Multi input').val(53633737);
  });

I have to set a set of values to a multiple line filed. I try first with single line filed,it works.

But when I assign a value to multiple line ,nothing appear in the field.

How to deal with this,please suggest .

Regards,

Bongkoch.

The multi-line fields are not regular inputs, but rather, a textarea. You can use

$('.Multi textarea').val('53633737');

Have you tried using a different CSS Classname?

The multi-line field and the single line fields are slightly different. You should try "textarea" instead of "input" in your field reference call.

Also, what happens if you try the following:

$('#Field40').val('53633737');

As part of that line of code, I changed the value to be in single quotes so as to explicitly pass that value to the field. Maybe that's what you need to try
