The other properties do appear. I have tried deleted and recreating the label in addition to deleting and recreating the screen. Any ideas? please see picture attached.

    Hello, what you’re trying to do won’t work because you’re passing Label11.Text (the same name as the label) inside the label itself. In this case, a circular reference will occur. In other words, you’re trying to display text from a label that references itself.

    To display text in a label, you can reference another label that contains text or use the traditional method, like Label11.

    Do this

    According to your screenshot, the Text property is already selected, as highlighted below.
     
     
    Therefore, if you want to assign the text "hello world" to the label, you can just type this into the formula bar:
     
    "hello world"
