Why does the type of value prop in the TextAreaChangeEvent event specify more than just string? Why number?

I noticed that the value prop of the TextAreaChangeEvent is defined as string | number | string[].

When will this value be number or string[]?

Won't it always be string due to the fact that it's a text area input?

Hello Ryan,

You are right. The value type inside the event will always be a string. We will remove the other types as they are not necessary.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I updated your Telerik points as a token of gratitude

Hello, Ryan,

The TextArea is working with strings, but it can work with string arrays as well:

Still, event, in that case, the value type inside the event will be a string.

We will investigate and update the type if needed.
