Text Input controls not working WITHIN Container

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 30

I have an app I'm working on and created a screen with a container and a form inside so that I can generate a PDF of it.  So far, it's working fine, but while most of the form fields are read only, I am trying to add some text input fields inside a custom datacard within the container so that the end user can enter some info (like a fillable PDF) then email the PDF to themselves, but the issue is that the text inputs inside the container are not working.  They work IF I put them OUTSIDE of the container, then you can enter data, but when inside the container you cannot input anything.

 

Any ideas on how to make the text inputs fillable/editable while inside the container?

    Disregard - I found my fix: I had the form itself inside the container set to "view".  Sorry!
