\setupoutput [pdftex]
\setupinteraction[state=start]
\setupfield [TextSetup4] [width=5cm,height=7mm]
\definefield [Dat] [line] [TextSetup4]
\starttext
\newbox\DatBox \DatBox{\field[Dat]}
\copy\DatBox
\stoptext

it doesn´t work as expected.
there is ever a "T" in front of the field.

if i use \copy\DatBox in the table, the field (with the "T" in front of)
appears on top of the text area.

What i´m doing wrong?

\setbox\DatBox=\hbox{\field[....]}

if you say \show\DatBox, you will see that it actually is a chardef,
used as boxnumber.
