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). ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/agilemfg/original/2X/0/031b1c08ec739f67d4e5a2b48d7510d57eb507bb.png) ---

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. ---

@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!
