TextField component as seen in the Scene Inspector

The TextField component is used in conjunction with a TextEditor, Text, and Button component to provide an editable text field. The Text component stores the text, the TextEditor is the editor for the text, and the Button allows the text editor to appear when then text field is selected.

You must drag a reference to the Text component into the Text property of the TextEditor in order for the editor to know what text it is editing.
