I don't think you can do it (yet) with the standard input text.
Hopefully Pm will be adding that capability soon.

As long as zap is enabled, you can do it like this:

(:zapdata Group.Name:)  //page where data is stored...
(:textarea name=field:)(:keep {$field}:)(:textareaend:)  //set field
to whatever...

And yes, it should do what you want.  No \\'s are needed and you can
even indent with spaces and it works fine.  See these pages:
