Text Box Issue with Card Widget embedded in Grid Widget

FaithMullins1 — Tue, 02 Sep 2025 16:12:15 GMT

*I figured out the problem*

I am using the Grid widget to organize a variety of Card widgets in the same corner of my app. When I have only one card inserted into the Grid widget I can move text and image boxes around within the Card widget with no problem. However, after adding a second or third Card widget to the Grid, I can no longer edit the text boxes found within the Card widgets. I cannot click on the text box to edit the text and when I try to rearrange the text boxes it pulls the entire Card widget out of the Grid. Has anyone else had this issue?

The first image shows three Cards nested within the Grid widget. The second image shows how the third Card widget (titled PA), gets pulled out of the Grid widget when I try to move or edit the text boxes within the Card.

After playing around with this further, the issue seems to be unrelated to the Grid widget. When I add a second Card widget anywhere in the XPBuilder App, I am unable to edit the text within the second Card widget. I can only edit the text boxes within the first Card. Is this a known issue with the Card widget functionality? I see lots of maps with multiple Cards, so it seems like this must be an issue exclusive to me.

Hi @DanielFox1，

You create a new app and add multiple Card widgets. Can you edit text in the Text widget?

Thanks,

My problem was due to user error. After adding the card and choosing the template, I did not click Start. If you do not click Start you cannot edit the text or any of the features of the Card widget. So the solution to this problem is "Click Start"!
