I try to add text item to adminhtml UI component as described in docs:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <form xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:module:Magento_Ui:etc/ui_configuration.xsd"> <argument name="data" xsi:type="array">...</argument> <settings>...</settings> <dataSource ...>...</dataSource> <fieldset name="..._form"> ... <text name="text_example" template="ui/form/field"> <settings> <label translate="true">Text Field Example</label> <visible>true</visible> <disabled>false</disabled> <elementTmpl>ui/form/element/text</elementTmpl> <value>The text value example</value> </settings> </text> </fieldset> </form>

I have an error in browser:

1 exception(s): Exception #0 (Magento\Framework\Exception\LocalizedException): The XML in file "/.../view/adminhtml/ui_component/..._form.xml" is invalid: Element 'value': This element is not expected. Line: 63 Verify the XML and try again. <pre>#1 Magento\Ui\Config\Reader->read() called at [vendor/magento/module-ui/Config/Data.php:102] #2 Magento\Ui\Config\Data->initData() called at [vendor/magento/module-ui/Config/Data.php:136] #3 Magento\Ui\Config\Data->get() called at [vendor/magento/framework/View/Layout/Reader/UiComponent.php:100] #4 Magento\Framework\View\Layout\Reader\UiComponent->interpret() called at [vendor/magento/framework/View/Layout/ReaderPool.php:105] ...

I've checked text.xsd and ui_component.xsd and I don't see value attribute is defined there.

What is the right way to add text item to UI form?

These are the text items based on @Marius (first one) and @Shailesh Katarmal (second one) answers below:

enter image description here

Marius code should be slightly edited:

<text template="ui/form/element/text"> <argument name="data" xsi:type="array"> <item name="config" xsi:type="array"> <item name="inputName" xsi:type="string">text_example</item> <item name="value" xsi:type="string">Lorem ipsum ...</item> </item> </argument> </text>

but Shailesh Katarmal code can be used as is.

Thanks, guys!

You are not allowd to use the tag value in that specific ui component.
If you want the input to have a default value then you should make your component look like this

 <text name="text_example" template="ui/form/field"> <argument name="data" xsi:type="array"> <item name="config" xsi:type="array"> <item name="default" xsi:type="string">Default text here</item> </item> </argument> <settings> <label translate="true">Text Field Example</label> <visible>true</visible> <disabled>false</disabled> <elementTmpl>ui/form/element/text</elementTmpl> </settings> </text>

Apparently the example in the docs is wrong.
If you take a look a bit higher in the docs, in the "Configuration options" section you will see that there is no "value" element specified.
