i am trying to set value to the lightning:inputField using the value attribute. The value attribute seems to work during the init handler event of the component. however i have a onchange for lightning:select . i want to set a custom value to the lightning:inputField(example, component.find("name").set("v.value","testing")). but it doesnt seem to work. however i noticed from console.log, the value attribute is getting changed but it doesnt reflect neither in UI nor while saving to the DB.

    The value attribute seems to be one way binded and not exposed .My initial examination concluded on that .You might just want to raise the case with support to see if this is something they will expose or plan to fix in later releases .

Finally i got the value attribute to be working.

We have to Set the fieldName attribute and also the value attribute. 

component.find("Name").set("v.fieldName","Name");
component.find("Name").set("v.value","Testing Name");

  • I think for this the docs are definitely incomplete and hope Someone from salesforce updates to reflect what can be done here .

    This is still not working, I tried to set both "fieldName" (with field's API name) and "value" (with my custom value) but have no impact.
