The fieldTextArea widget does not appear to connect the contents of the text field to the value parameter.
Steps to reproduce:
- Create a text TOP
- Open the palette and under UI > Basic Widgets, drag in a fieldText Area
- Right click the text TOP’s text parameter and choose copy parameter
- Right click the fieldTextArea’s Value parameter and choose paste bind
- Try editing the text in the widget UI
The single line fieldString does appear to work properly.
