Dynamic text showing up as Lorem Ipsum on the Preview page

Hi there,

I am working on an app in Bubble and everytime that I enter dynamic text, it appears as “Lorem ipsum” on the preview page. Will that appear as a placeholder even in the final version of my app? I am not sure what I am doing wrong, as I am following youtube tutorials and this issue does not seem to come up or be addressed in the tutorials even though I follow their step by step instructions. I saw another thread discussing this issue however the proposed solution was not very clear, as I do not yet have much experience with bubble. It would be really helpful if someone could advise on this. Thanks!

this happens because you have no data

but is that how it will appear from the user’s perspective? the point is to have the user enter the data themselves e.g. their name, bio etc. so the text block should be empty

I don’t know your setup, but a correctly setup feature to allow a user to enter their own data would use input elements. The value you want the user to see before they enter their information is the ‘placeholder’ value. Then on the input you would put the initial content as the dynamic value which looks to the database for what has been saved by the user.

I also started seeing this issue specifically yesterday. I believe it’s linked to the current issues being faced. At the moment I cannot continue development and nervous about on selling once done because of the uptime issues and apparent lack of communication from bubble representatives concerning the issues.

It is not…it is related to a page that has a content type and when your preview the page from the button preview in the editor, it opens the page but does not set a data entry for the content type, which means it is ‘placeholder’ values.
