Is there anyway to disable autocorrect in the current version of Thunkable? I saw this post: [Keyboard without tips](https://community.thunkable.com/t/keyboard-without-tips/32437) but it mentions an AutoCorrect property that does not seem to exist anymore. I am using the text box as a name entry place for my bathroom visit record app for my students. I have several students whose names get changed with autocorrect unless they are really careful. Most aren’t careful. ---

Should be in the properties under Advanced tab ![AutoCorrect](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/7/d/7d45e7569e402b531167966ef49fe1ff9f5eb644.jpeg) ---

I have to say that as a teacher, I worry about students being limited in terms of how often they can use the bathroom. But perhaps that’s not the case at your school. I believe that the newer Drag-and-Drop interface does not have that property for Text Inputs. The older Snap-to-Place interface does. It’s under the Advanced tab. ---

Yeah, I am using drag-and-drop interface. As a teacher, I agree with you @tatiang. This app is solely to keep track of who is in the bathroom and when, not limit their visits. I think I found a workaround. If I set the text boxes to be email addresses, it disables auto correct. ---
