    In Design Studio I'm using a TextArea in place of a Text box for a 'comment' field on data brought in from the application. If I edit that data within the textarea by changing a word or character within a line of comments, everything after the new word is truncated. If I change the control back to being a text box I don't have this error. Is this an issue with the TextArea control? Has anyone run into this and found a workaround?

      Chuck, did you find a solution for this? I am on 9.01 Design Studio and have the same issue with textarea. Does not matter, if I check the values on On_Blur or on_BeforeTransaction, if the textarea has been edited with backspace or delete, the results are truncated. Thanks.

        when I try var vCmt = lawForm.getFormValue("textarea1",0), it messes up .

        I changed it to
        var vObj = lawForm.getFormElement("textarea1",0);
        var vCmt = vObj.value

        Seems to work ok, regardless of backspace or delete or any special characters.

          I too am having problems populating textarea object. I have tried these three methods...to no avail. 
          
var vdata = "mytext";
alert(vdata);
lawForm.getFormElement("textarea1").value = vdata;
lawForm.setElementValue("textarea1",vdata,0);
lawForm.setFormValue("textarea1", vdata);


          None of the above methods has worked for me. Any help is appreciated!
          Alex-

            Option 3 - setFormValue - should be working.
