Is there an alternative to using the embed widget in Webflow to set a custom attribute for the value of a form text field, since the attribute name "value" is reserved? Can Webflow remove the value attribute from the reserved list, as they have done with other attributes like maxLength?

the value attribute in Webflow is still reserved and cannot be set directly using the embed widget. However, there are alternative ways to achieve a similar result without using the value attribute in Webflow.

One approach is to use custom code in the page's head or footer code section. You can create a script that targets the specific form field by its ID or class and sets its value dynamically. Here's an example using jQuery:

```html

```

In the code example above, `myFormInput` should be replaced with the ID or class of your desired form input field, and `'Your Custom Value'` should be the desired value you want to set.

Alternatively, you can use JavaScript's `setAttribute` method to dynamically set the value of the input field. Here's an example:

```html

```

Again, make sure to replace `myFormInput` with the ID or class of your form input element, and `'Your Custom Value'` with the desired value.

These approaches allow you to dynamically set the value of your form text field without using the reserved value attribute directly within Webflow. However, please note that these methods involve custom code, and it's always a good practice to test thoroughly and ensure the code runs as intended across different devices and browsers.
