Bug #55353

Found no way to set default value for form textarea
0%
Description
What works for simple text fields (that have a value attribute)
value {
cObject = TEXT
cObject.data = GP:parameter
}
doesn’t for textarea fields (no value attribute, no way found to set data) …
If anybody knows how to set default values for textarea (or select) fields,
please let me know :-)
otherwise I see this issue as a severe bug

You can already do this with typoscript like this:
10 = TEXTAREA
10 {
cols = 40
name = comment
rows = 5
data = default value
}
But "data" can not be rendered as contentelement.
I pushed a patch that make this possible.
With this patch you can do something like this:
10 = TEXTAREA
10 {
cols = 40
name = comment
rows = 5
data = TEXT
data.value = x
}
For documentation:
"data" can be used with TEXTAREA, TEXTBLOCK and OPTION.

The rendering as contentelement is a security risk, because backend users are able to execute custom typoscript.

As it already has been pointed out - data is used instead of value for the Form Objects TEXTAREA, TEXTBLOCK and OPTION
Thus, I suggest to deprecated data for those three object and use value as default value - as it is being used for all other objects.
