Handling Null Values in TextField Initial Value in FlutterFlow

Actions & Logic

I recently encountered an issue where I needed to handle null values in the initial value of a TextField. Specifically, when a user's first name was not available, the TextField was displaying "null," which is not a desirable behavior.

What have you tried so far?

To solve this I have wrote custom code to return text Enter your first name when the passed parameter is null, but I don't think it's right approach as the value will also be saved as enter your first name .

String? returnEnterYourFirstName(String? name)

{ /// MODIFY CODE ONLY BELOW THIS LINE

if (name == null)

{ return 'Enter your first name'; }

return name;

/// MODIFY CODE ONLY ABOVE THIS LINE }

Did you check FlutterFlow's Documentation for this topic?

Yes
