The text widget points to an attribute that has two empty strings. I tried with live view and preview, empty ones are both not-clickable.</P><P></P><P><IMG class="image-1 jive-image" src="https://community.esri.com/legacyfs/online/511887_pastedImage_1.png" /></P><P></P><P></P><P>Maybe you left a space in the text widget? When you add an attribute, it will add a space after it by default.</P><P></P><P>Shengdi</P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 28 Oct 2020 08:05:38 GMT https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-experience-builder-questions/text-widget-or-button-widget-in-list-widget-both/m-p/376693#M625 ShengdiZhang 2020-10-28T08:05:38Z
