Hi,

I have a few screens that have a single text box which I have set to autofocus. When the screen opens, the text box is selected but the user still has to click on the box to open the keyboard. Is there anyway open the keyboard automatically when the screen opens?

Thanks  
Steve

At this current time, we only have a block that can dismiss the keyboard. This is a good suggestion though!

I’ll pass it on to the team and see if we can implement this. My guess is that some of this is dependent on the OS as well for signaling the keyboard.

Seems as if a change has been made as the keyboard now opens automagically!!

Thanks
