this week I wanted to share a useful feature that allows you to dynamically change colors of a button based on a Color Variable in your app, this allows you to build more advanced interfaces that are easier for users to use!! here’s how to do it.
the first thing you’ll need to do is create a Color Variable, in my example I called it Color Variable. optionally you can also add a default color:
following that, you’ll want to dynamically change the button color in a Trigger. I’ve done it when a button is pressed, but you can do it on any Trigger you’d like:
Hi gio
Thank you for this post.
I am though looking for a way to have one button color on the button (disabled color) until all the mandatory fields are filled in and filled in correctly until it changes color to an enabled color.
I tried to use the 1 second trigger (not the best way but the only way I could see), so every second it checks everything, but since this is not possible to use anymore (this has been removed by Tulip), we do not have a way of changing the button color.
Having a disabled button color until all is correctly entered would really improve the user experience. I have tested it (before the 1 second trigger possibility was removed) and most user recognise the color change and realise that they can now proceed.
Is there another way to do this? Or do I need to put in a product suggestion?
hello @skgc, welcome to the Tulip Community and great to hear you found this post useful!!
there are specific features that can be enabled/disabled following a specific process, and I have mentioned this to your Account Executive who is aware of this request and will be following up.
in the meantime, I’d also suggest upvoting this topic: Trigger for when a variable changes as it helps achieve what you’d like from what I’m understanding.
