I would like to be able to set the value of a free text component programatically ... i can do this with input fields such as text box, by adding the php code to the default value, but I can't see a way to do that for freetext values.

many thanks in advance!

Hello Mario,

You can customize the FreeText field using the Scripts tab, namely "Script called on form display".

First of all you have to create a FreeText component and in the Text field type an unique placeholder like: {my_free_text}.

Then go to the "Script called on form display" and type this code:
$formLayout = str_replace('{my_free_text}','your value here',$formLayout);

I hope this helps.
