Hi,

I was able to edit the String item type from Paper UI but couldn’t do the same from the Basic UI. How can I do that?

Regards,

You cannot. Neither BasicUI nor ClassiUI support free form text entry.

Hi Rich,
Thanks a lot for your response and valuable time. How will I then use the sitemaps which should have this feature?

You might be able to use a custom widget in HABpanel. I’ve zero experience with ComitVisu. You can set up your own web server with a form and use the webview element to put that on your sitemap.

You could use some other way to get the String into openHAB like a REST call, MQTT message, polling the file system for a text file, etc.
