Kentico 11. Insert value into Bizform input field dynamically

Tom Wisneski asked on April 6, 2020 23:00

Question - in Code behind (weforms). What is the way you can place text in bizform field. I have tried, bizform.FieldControls["fieldname"].Value = "some text", and also bizform.FieldControls["fieldname"].Text= "some text" These do not error out, but neither does it work. Thanks.

Then I'd create a global event handler so you can simply use the base webpart or control for this (even if it is MVC). This way you have one place to manage it. This post has code for v7 but it's similar in nature. Just use the new global event handler (in links below) and place the event code inside of it.

Are you setting this on first load or what data are you setting it to? You can typically do this on the form field's default value when you create the form with a macro. In the default value field, create your macro to fill in the space. For instance, in the FirstName field, you could use something like {%MembershipContext.AuthenticatedUser.FirstName%}
