Hello,

Bit of an odd one. Whenever I start typing into an input, the first character gets deleted. I removed applied style to standard as thought it could be a focus conflict but same issue happens

I have attached a video. Anyone else experience this kind of behaviour before? Tried on Safari and Chrome, same result.

Update:

I had a group with a data source selected which was redundant and causing the behaviour. After I removed this, the input functioned as expected.

Do you have autobinding or a “when this value is changed” workflows associated with this?

That was the issue for me. Not using any auto-binding currently, lots of workflows though!
