Interface with auto populating and editing the text field.

Question

Hello, 
 I have a requirement where the text field should get auto-populated based on the previous action. Once the text field is auto populated I have 2 possibilities. 
 1. the user can click on submit without making any changes to the text field. In this case, since there is no user interaction, the value is not storing to the saveinto local variable. 
 2. the user can change the text field value as per their choice. In this case, the value is saving to the local variable, but it's not reflecting in the text field, since in value parameter there is another local variable. 
 a!textField( label: "File Name", labelPosition: "ABOVE", value: local!prepopulatedName, saveInto: local!docName, refreshAfter: "UNFOCUS", ), 
 
 Here, local!docName is the variable created for storing the value for this text field. 
 l ocal!prepopulatedName is the field from where it's getting auto populated. 
 Can someone please guide me here?

hema.mathivathanan You have to add same code to button saveInto to reflect data into local!docName Understand below code and try to implement for yours. It will solve your problem. a!localVariables(
 local!docName,
 local!prepopulatedName: "Test",
 {
 a!textField(
 label: "File Name",
 labelPosition: "ABOVE",
 value: if(
 a!isNullOrEmpty(local!docName),
 local!prepopulatedName,
 local!docName
 ),
 saveInto: local!docName,
 refreshAfter: "KEYPRESS"
 ),
 a!buttonArrayLayout(
 buttons: {
 a!buttonWidget(
 label: "Button",
 style: "OUTLINE",
 saveInto: a!save(
 local!docName,
 if(
 a!isNullOrEmpty(local!docName),
 local!prepopulatedName,
 local!docName
 )
 )
 )
 },
 align: "START",
 marginBelow: "NONE"
 )
 }
)

Try using following code: 
 a!localVariables(
 local!documentId,
 a!columnsLayout(
 columns: {
 a!columnLayout(
 contents: {
 a!fileUploadField(
 target: cons!APP_FOLDER_TEMPORARY_FOLDER,
 maxSelections: 1,
 value: local!documentId,
 saveInto: {
 local!documentId,
 a!save(
 ri!documentName,
 index(
 index(
 index(
 a!fileUploadField(value: local!documentId),
 "contents",
 null
 ),
 "value",
 null
 ),
 "fileName",
 null
 )
 )
 }
 )
 }
 ),
 a!columnLayout(
 contents: {
 a!textField(
 label: "File Name",
 labelPosition: "ABOVE",
 value: ri!documentName,
 saveInto: ri!documentName
 )
 }
 )
 }
 )
) Save the document name in rule input instead of local so you do not need to make any changes on 'SUBMIT' button. Output of above code:

Hi hema.mathivathanan Can you try this? a!textField(
 label: "File Name",
 labelPosition: "ABOVE",
 value: if(a!isNullOrEmpty(local!docName), local!prepopulatedName, local!docName), 
 saveInto: local!docName,
 refreshAfter: "KEYPRESS"
),
