Hi Erick -

I don't believe this is in the product today.

Note that you're always free to report "unexpected behavior" to support. 😉

Robert Shankin Hi Rob, do you know if there is any programmatic way in doing so? For example, if you have a link to Add Comment and when clicking on it, a paragraph field shows up. How can we make it so that the user can start typing right away without having to first click on the paragraph field?

Hi Jose -

If you mean set focus on interface load, then according to current functionality, the way to do this would be to make the desired field the highest/leftmost field on the form.
From there a user can hit the TAB key on the keyboard to move the cursor to the next field and SHIFT+TAB to move the cursor to the previous field.

Do you have a use case in which a user doesn't start entering data in the first field?
