Your text explicitly sets the text color using the color tag ([color=#ffff00]). If you want to change the text color, you can either: 1. Remove the [color] tag from the text, and set the text color in the style properties to #ffff00 2. Have the condition update the “text” rather than the font color, and have the updated text use the new color in its color tag. Hope this helps! * * * Stuck on your bubble app?
