    Is there a way to get the text of a script component so it can be accessed and edited in a UI input field at runtime?

    (I mean get the whole script in text form)

    No.

    If you need runtime scripting, then you'll probably want to use something like MiniScript, which was designed for exactly that.

    In compiled languages like C# the original text of the scripts does not exist in your game's build. You need a language which is interpreted at runtime.
