Alright, let’s keep this simple.

**If you could snap your fingers and add one feature (or fix) to Elements, what would it be?**

No lists, no essays, **just ONE single thing** you want the most. Any posts with multiple items will be deleted.

If it would make your life better in Elements, drop it in this thread.

All of Team Elements will be watching this thread 👀

Cheers!

**Empty Text Component Bug**

When you delete existing text inside a Text Component, then click outside of it and later try to add new text again, it’s no longer possible. Really annoying… and the same issue also affects the Button Component.

This is currently the most annoying — and oldest — bug on my list.

Fixing it would make a great Christmas gift.

If a control has any value other than it’s default, it would be a really nice quality of life feature to mark the control as changed, and a bonus to mark teh group as having at least one control change.

And super helpful if you are trying to explain something in a shared project file.

Make it an optional preference (defaults to on) for bonus points.

**yabdab FormSnap 4 with Input Pack 1+2** 🫣

I don’t mean that I want exactly this extension from Mike, but rather that I simply need a very professional form for my website.  
I am a loyal RapidWeaver customer: versions 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.

However, Elements is absolutely unusable for me at the moment without a form on the same level. I haven’t even downloaded or tested the demo of Elements yet—only watched the YouTube videos.

On my website, members register, choose their plan, and up to six people can be registered at the same time. There are rules about what needs to be filled out depending on the selections. They enter their bank details for direct debit, and there is a field for a signature. With FormSnap, that’s no problem!

To teach and learn faster, labels (like the OS X Finder) and a locking option to prevent errors.  
This provides a very powerful tool for project distributors and user training.

The text is the only element that cannot be managed outside of the preview. In cases where absolute elements with a specific Z-index are positioned, it becomes inaccessible from the preview using the mouse.

Allowing text editing without having to click on the box allows for the management of complex layouts without having to move the text to edit it. 🙏

The LOCKING of select properties so they can’t be changed, plus guardrails on GLOBALS, so that inadvertent changes can’t be made, wiping out a bunch of previous changes.
