$addTextInput[] — Modal Text Input (classic)
$addTextInput[] adds a text input to the modal started with $newModal[]. It is not a message component: it requires a modal to be in progress. For the Components V2 modal inputs, see $addModalTextInput[].
Syntax
$addTextInput[customId;style;label;(minLength);(maxLength);(required);(default);(placeholder)]
Parameters

style |
Yes | — | short or paragraph (any other value is an error). |
label |

minLength |
No | 0 |
Minimum number of characters (integer from 0 to 4000). |
maxLength |
No | 4000 |
Maximum number of characters (integer from 1 to 4000). Must not be lower than minLength. |

No | yes |
yes/true or no/false. |
default |
No | empty | Pre-filled value (0 to 4000 characters). |
placeholder |

Return value

Errors
$newModal[]must have been called before, otherwise: “Create a modal before adding text inputs.”- A modal supports at most 5 inputs, and input IDs must be unique.
- An invalid
style, a length out of range, a non-integerminLength/maxLength, or arequiredvalue other than yes/no/true/false is an error.
Examples
Search modal
$newModal[search_modal;Search]
$addTextInput[query;short;Search term;2;100;yes;;Search...]
Feedback modal
$newModal[feedback_modal;Feedback]
$addTextInput[name;short;Your name;0;50;no;;Anonymous]
$addTextInput[message;paragraph;Your message;10;1000;yes;;Write your feedback here...]
Notes
- Unlike the
$addModal*functions,$addTextInputdoes not create a default modal: it fails without a prior$newModal[]. - When the modal is sent, it must hold 1 to 5 components (
A modal requires 1 to 5 inputs.) and the script must not also produce text, embeds or component rows (A modal cannot be combined with a message response.). - The value of an input is read with
$input[customId]when the modal is submitted. $newModal[]takes the modal ID first, then its title.
