How to make button text editable by user

[donavan.naidoofnw]

Hi, I want to use the long press button function to allow users to change the text of buttons. How do I do that?

Hi, @donavan.naidoofnw!

When the user long-presses the button, a text-input with a small submit button would appear.
When he/she writes into the text-input, and hits “submit” button, the main button’s text would change through these blocks -

Hope I helped you!
Good Luck!

Thanks!

Hi Kartik, thanks for this.

When I long press it comes up as undefined.

it comes up as undefined.

Is you text input initially empty? undefined is the initial value when you add a new TextInput component.

You can use an IF block to handle these cases.

Thank you to everyone for such quick replies. I realised i must have a text input box or someplace to get the text to change the button text. I will try to apply all of your suggestions. Thank you so much once again. Very helpful.
