Example: Update Data Field Based on Value Entered by User

Bind two input elements to the same data field on a Flexcard's data source so that when a user updates one element's value, the other element's value updates to match. This example uses a SOQL query data source that returns Account names, and shows how a value entered in a Text Input element flows through to a Text Area Input element bound to the same field.

SELECT Name from Account

1. Configure the data source.
   1. Set Data Source Type to SOQL Query.
   2. In the query text area, enter SELECT Name from Account.
2. Under Repeat Options, enable Repeat Records.
3. Drag a Text input element from the elements panel onto the canvas.
4. In the Text input element's properties, set Field for Binding to a merge field that points to the data source, such as {Name}.
5. Drag a Text Area input element from the elements panel onto the canvas.
6. In the Text Area input element's properties, set Field for Binding to the same merge field, {Name}.
7. Click Preview.
8. Change the value in the Text input element, and confirm that the Text Area input element's value updates to match.
