Hi there, @Buddha… can you share a screenshot of the input element’s Appearance tab?

How are you adding the randomly generated text into that element? I wondered if you had an expression in the Placeholder field that needed to be in the Initial content field instead, but all you have is an empty input.

I am using this piece of Javascript code…

document.getElementById("fpjstext").value = result.visitorId

result.visitorId is a value generated when the user loads the page.

I’m not sure what the input element has to do with anything here, but after result.visitorId is generated, can you set a custom state to the generated value and have the Initial content field of the input element set to the custom state?
