Due to a potential security vulnerability, we have removed the ability to get and set a text area’s value property via the getProperty and setProperty functions in Applab. This feature is not directly mentioned in our curriculum nor advertised in our documentation, so it is unlikely to affect your students.
Prior to today, the option to set a text area’s value was listed in the dropdown of properties available to use in the getProperty function. If your students happen to have utilized this feature, they can simply replace the value field with the text field as follows:
// No longer functional code
setProperty('text-area-id', 'value', 'Updated text for my text field');
// Equivalent code
setProperty('text-area-id', 'text', 'Updated text for my text field');
