[Bug]: Mustaches `{{}}` within input value are evaluated
Is there an existing issue for this?
- [X] I have searched the existing issues
Description
As a user, when I type a text containing the binding characters into an input field, the binding characters get evaluated as null.
Steps To Reproduce
Given an input field templateField and a text written into it Hello {{name}}, this is a template text.. When I try to read this value to pass it as a request parameter like {{templateField.text}}, {{name}} is evaluated as null. So I and up with Hello null, this is a template text. where I expect Hello {{name}}, this is a template text.
My assumption is, appsmith considered {{name}} as data to bind and tries to evaluate it, but as {{name}} doesn't exist it returns null. Same for Hello {{1}}.
Here, I don't want Hello {{name}} or Hello {{1}} to be evaluated, but instead return as it is, so the exact text typed by the user can be recorded into the database.
Proposed solution: provide another binding character that does not try to evaluate text inside a variable.
