In this example we have a button (in blue) that when clicked will change the value of the form input component to say "This is the Input Box!"

1. First, we drag a button and a form input onto the canvas.

2. Select the button and under the 'Actions' tab, drag the setComponentValue into the flow for the button.

3. Under the inspector for this function, select the component whose value you would be changing, which in this example is InputBox.

4. Enter the new value to display.

Result

1. Save and preview your app.

2. Now when you click the button, it will set the component value of InputBox to 'This is the Input Box!'
