json 'str' data type issue - PPP

[DaHai8 74]

In Post-Processing Plugins, if I use the 'str' data type for an input field, it appears to disable that field if there is nothing in it:

 

#               "line1":               {                   "label": "First Line",                   "description": "First Inserted Line",                   "type": "str",                   "default_value": "This",                   "enabled": true               },

 

If I set the default_value to "", then I can't type anything into that field in the PPP. If I leave it as 'This', I can type into the field. If I delete all the characters, then it locks the field and I can no longer type anything into it...except a period (.) and only a period - nothing else even after that.

Am I missing something?

I have a hunch that you can type numbers, right?

Silly me, didn't try that.

Yes, I can type numbers any time.

I can type letters in fields that already have letters.

But once its blank, only numbers and a decimal/comma are allowed.

So if I want to have a field that I can enter gCode into, what should I 'type' it to?

Thanks!
