My understanding is that the state is managed internally by weweb and is not automatically switched when you focus the input, like what happens for hover state.

For a “onfocus” workflow trigger to manage focus events you need to ask the weweb team.

If you use the [workaround that I describe here](https://community.weweb.io/t/best-place-for-onfocus-and-onblur-events/1625/2) you can activate your element state by binding the state condition.  
In that example you keep track of the focused element updating a variable with the name of the element (the one in the settings panel), so you can bind the focus condition to that.  
Something like this:
