Can't Add Text to Button Widget

Ran into an issue where I accidentally backspaced a bunch while my app editor window was active when I thought I was editing an email elsewhere (darn multi-device keyboard setup!)

When I CTRL+Z to undo, the button reappeared but the text was missing from it. Subsequently, I was unable to get the text Label to “stick”. Copying the widget and pasting it had the same issue. Another editor resorted to adding a “printer” icon, which did stick.

Ultimately I created a new button, added the text, and copied over the trigger from the original, which is now sitting off to the side (out of sight of the operator).

Hey Jim,

Was this on LTS8.2 or a newer release?

Hmmm, we weren’t able to recreate this ourselves. Are you able to recreate this (and if so, could you maybe take a video / screen recording to show us?)

I demonstrated the issue during today’s afternoon office hours, it should be recorded from that.

Interestingly when I copied the whole step to a new app, the error resolved and I was able to update the button label.

When I duplicated the step within the same app, the error persisted in the copy.

When I duplicated the app, the error persisted in the copy.

Got it, we will look into this further!

@jmlowden - FYI - I made this a support ticket for you. We want to look further at the specific app to investigate. Let me know if you do not see that Support ticket in your email!
