[TYPO3-mvc] fluid textarea default value

[Bas van der Togt]

Hi Claus,

Thanks for your reply!
This is almost what is want!
When i load a fresh form the default value is now: Dear Kasper,
When i change the default value to: Dear Kasper, How are you?
and submit the form. The textarea is empty.

Any idea?

My form:

<f:form action="create" name="newContact" object="{newContact}" 
arguments="{contactperson: contactperson}" class="form-styled 
contact-form" method="post">
	<f:form.textarea id="message" property="message" class="text" 
value="{f:if(condition: newContact, else: 'Dear Kasper,')}" 
errorClass="error" />
	<f:form.submit value="Versturen" />
</f:form>
