Hello Bhauvik,

Thank you for writing.

Your requirement sounds like our hint text feature - this is a text which is visible while the value of the editor is nil. Here's an article which contains a snippet with the usage of hintText property. If this is not suitable and you really need to clear the text when the text field get the focus, you need to make your ViewController the delegate of the TextField which is part of the TKDataFormTextFieldEditor:

-(void)dataForm:(TKDataForm *)dataForm setupEditor:(TKDataFormEditor *)editor forProperty:(TKEntityProperty *)property
{
    if ([property.name isEqualToString:@"details"]) {
        TKTextField* tf = (TKTextField*)(editor.editor);
        tf.delegate = self;
    }
}

Then when the editor gets the focus, you will clear the text:

- (void)textFieldDidBeginEditing:(UITextField *)textField {
    textField.text = nil;
}

I hope this information helps.

Todor
