How to get text on Dashboard Designer Components?

---

Hi All,

We are running the latest version of Mango (Enterprise) and I think there is a bug with the v3 dashboard designer, but not sure:

When we create a dashboard via the V3 UI -> Custom Pages -> Dashboard Designer

I put on a few Gauges, I then went to text and font and typed in a label for the gauges.

When I first type the label, it appears in the dashboard designer UI.

Then, when I click 'View Page', the text is gone. If I go back to the dashboard designer, the text is no longer visible on the preview screen, however it does still appear under 'Text and Font'.

As soon as I change the text by adding or removing a character, it shows back up on the preview screen, but once again disappears under view page.

Here's a video of the issue https://youtu.be/N8-dlilTB-E

I do believe your team has access to this instance if you want to troubleshoot or see it for yourself.

I work with @mihairosu -- he can show you as well.

Update:

• Occurs on the latest versions of Chrome and Safari -- Windows and OSX
• Nothing significant noted in inspector / console.
• In the inspector, the HTML / JS does not show the text in the preview screen.

Thanks!

@rshah The text content attribute in the designer sets the text in between the HTML start and close tag. e.g. if you put a div in then set its "Text content" to "my text" you will get a div like this <div>my text</div>. Check the markup.

When a AngularJS component/directive is compiled it can make make use of this text content using transclusion but ours normally don't. I should probably hide the "Text content" attribute from the designer except for certain plain HTML tags like <div> or <span>.

To add a label like you are trying to do, drop a separate "Text box" (<div>) from "Basic components" onto the page and position it where you would like.

Thank you!

That makes sense, appreciate the help!
