I think this might be a limitation or missing feature in Formtastic. For inputs like
:stringyou can do:input_html => { :value => 'whatever' }, but the “value” of atextareaisn’t set with a HTML attribute.Give that a try (we pass the
:input_htmloptions down to built-in Rails helpers, and maybe they’ll do the right thing), otherwise, please submit an issue or a pull request on Github.
