Renaming UI elements sometimes does not have an effect

(2) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by JDofficial 25

Hi All,

 

MS PAD sometimes does not let me to change names of the UI elements, some just jumps back to its default name generated by the recorder.

 

Is this a bug or a feature?

 

Please act accordingly.

 

Best,

JD

 

ps: still, the random and illogical label recommendation does not help AT ALL.

    It is a bug. It will get fixed some day 🙂

    I have the same issue, renaming UI elements just default back to the original. Spent days researching. Do not want to proceed with MS unusable default names as will make supporting it an nightmare to trace. Please help!

    Simple solution, hit Enter rather then click to next field.
