How to edit text box after pressing enter?

✓ Accepted answer
I've never attempted this before, but I can imagine some uses! After some quick thought, this should solve your predicament:
local TextBox = script.Parent
TextBox.FocusLost:Connect(function(EnterPressed)
if not (EnterPressed) then return end
---------------
TextBox:CaptureFocus()
end)

When I press enter, the text resets but i can still type inside of the box and clicking outside of the text box and clicking on it resets the text.

That's due to the ClearTextOnFocus boolean. Toggle it off; if you're trying to make a multi-line TextBox, there is already a built-in option to enable that feature within the TextBox's properties.

You'll want to use the Focused and FocusLost events to do this. https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/event/TextBox/FocusLost and https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/event/TextBox/Focused
