Issues with putting a list into a text box with \n as divider
-
Thank you for the thorough testing and detailed report. We will fix the issue of using "" as the splitter.
Can you please share a specific project you are working on? So that we can help make sure the join and split blocks work as expected.
@info-creaticode I will share it and make a set demonstration of what happens when I get time, currently I have to attend something and it’ll take about an hour or two, when I finish it and get home I’ll start making it, my testing was just changing the inputs and seeing what happens so I don’t have saves of everything

@info-creaticode After making the demonstration on a computer I found out the error only occurs on my iPad, (model name is iPad 7th Generation), but still it’d be useful to know when you must use \n and \n to take from list

@tyller_ It’s error crashed… It was working when I was typing the post, though I’m typing this on my iPad and it was really lagging since I pasted the link and started typing before it, also something to mention is CreatiCode is taking 1.2 Gb of website data on my iPad (also was taking 2.7 Gb before I cleared and safari had prompted me to give CreatiCode access to more space on my iPad) so there’s a chance there’s a memory leak (or I guess a storage/cache leak?) causing a lot of data to cache…

Hi, we have updated these blocks so that
- You will only need to use “\n” for both joining and splitting
- If the separator is invalid, such as "", it will report an error in the console panel but won’t stop working
- The split block works no matter if the text in the textbox is from splitting a text or from user typing.
These updates should fix most of the issues you mentioned above. If there are other issues, please let us know.

@info-creaticode I just found out while working on something, (on mobile devices) inserting with \n in an input field still breaks, BUT if you press the widget quick edit button (orange button with arrows shown in editor when using widgets) it fixes it if it’s inputted already, not permanently, but it fixes the graphical bug for that insert, just letting you know there is a way to “fix” it somewhat

Can you please explain what you meant by “inserting with \n in an input field”? Do you mean splitting a list with “\n”? Some code or a project link would be helpful. We will make sure it does not break. Thanks
@info-creaticode on a mobile device if you go for example the project I made above, on the examples where it shows a list join by \n on the same line, just pressing the widget edit button should put them all on different lines properly, I think it may be the edit button reloads the widgets to add the size rescale cube in the bottom right and when it does it has to reload the text and it reloads it with \n properly used, to replicate use a mobile device (I’m on an iPad), make a project, add a multi line input text box, make a list with multiple items, join the list with \n, it should show it all on the same line, press the widget quick edit button, it should then put them all on separate lines

Your project has 5 parts now. Which part would reproduce this issue?

@info-creaticode part 2 on a mobile device, if you use a mobile device (I’m using an iPad), click see inside, go to part 2, when it splits and shows 1 2 3 as if separated by spaces, click the widget quick edit button, it should then put them all on separate lines

We can confirm the textbox will not handle the \n separated string on iPads as new lines at the moment. It is added to our list for future fixes. Thanks for reporting this issue.
