Hey,

I have an input field and a button in a group, as suggested everywhere to submit the button when pressing enter inside the input field:

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/3X/1/c/1c5e90d8164699e3b198bd7195eea7e2c5158c26.png)

To check if it works, I have a text field showing the text from the input. When I press the button the text is shown in the text field, but when pressing enter inside the input field nothing happens.  
Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi, thanks for posting about this! I did some research and found a workaround that some of our users have come up with: if you group the input element and button together, clicking the “Enter” key should trigger the button’s workflow. I was able to find a couple forum posts about this that explain in a bit more detail ([Saving text on Return Key](http://forum.bubble.io/t/saving-text-on-return-key/77580)). I hope this helps!
