Globally set autofocus on a node/input

[Nama]

Description

Hi,

I'd like to have an option to set an text input with autofocus. I understand, that this can't be in the node settings, but must be a page setting.

Is there a workaround? I couldn't find and come up with something...

Have you provided an initial effort estimate for this issue?

Could you add a bit more detail on exactly what you want to achieve please?
When do you want the autofocus to happen? On opening the dashboard? On opening the page containing the node?
What do you want to happen on page refresh?

[Nama]

Primarily on opening the dashboard. On opening the page would be nice, too!

What do you want to happen on page refresh?

Doesn't really matter. That would be fine if it didn't autofocused on page reload.

Thank you!

I can see that this could be a useful feature.
It might be worth asking on the node red forum whether it can be achieved at the moment.

Given that nodes are fairly independent and don't know about other nodes - where/how should this be set in the UI so that it is only applied to one node per visible page ?

Page node settings

Can you have multiple autofocus nodes in an SPA?

[Nama]

I don't know what SPA means.

Single Page App. The dashboard is actually only one web page. The node red pages are achieved by hiding and showing the different groups. At least I think that is how it works. Someone will educate me if that is not right.

Found this as related topic of your post and that works.

Can you post exactly how you have done it please?
