A typical wiring for [dynamic textarea](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/state%20ui/state_textarea_dynamic): [value](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/value/value_default) feeds the `form_id` pin; [value](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/value/value_default) feeds the `field` pin; the `state` out pin feeds [get component child](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/state%20actions/state_component_get_child).
