Method Community

As you can tell from the many posts I have here, we are continuing to work on customizing Method to meet our needs. In this case, we are copying the default Method screens and creating our own custom versions from them.

I have a drop-down field on a screen that has actions on change. For some reason I keep losing the display of the placeholder.     It still exists in the object   All I need to do to get it to display is click the clear option.     Then it shows up fine

Trying to catch up again with some of this now. Isabella in my office will now also be working with me on Method. Since the update is it now possible to edit the live version of a screen?

Hey Mahlon, Appreciate the follow-up. Agreed, those options are unnecessary. I am unable to put together a workaround - I have created at ticket for our development team to take a look at how HTML rendering gets handled in a Text controller.  I'll keep you posted in what I hear back from the team. -- Mortaza
