Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/tzapu/WiFiManager/issues/1441

WiFiManagerParameter custom_text_box("my_text",
                                       "Enter your string here",
                                       "default string", 50);

then

wfm.addParameter(&custom_text_box);

then

Serial.println(custom_text_box.getValue());

prints "50"

I can't find the code in the library that is handling this. Must be there somewhere!

It was bad sample code from a web site that seemed to be an expert. Never mind!
