Need help Plugins

Hi, I’m trying to create a plugin action that gets the content typed in by users into a multiline input whenever the user clicks on a submit button. Please, how do I go about this?

Hey @kingjoseph279 ,
Welcome to the community.

what you need to do is:

  1. create a multiline input and other input element in which you want to add the multiline input’s value
  2. in the other input just give the dynamic value: “multiline input’s value”

as far as i have understood the problem this could be the solution.
hope this will help you.

Thanks @Sart .
What I actually want to do is create a plugin action that will run when a user clicks a “submit post” button. So whenever the button is clicked I want to get the content the user has typed into the multiline input and submit a post request with the content I got from the multiline input to an API. My problem is I need a way to get the value of the multiline input from the plugin action editor where I write the code that carries out the task.

is the post your user is creating, being posted on your app?? or any other app ??
and what kind of feature you want to create?

@sart , thanks again for your response.
The post the user is creating is being posted to the Deso Blockchain (so saying another app might be correct)
