Hi all,

I’ve been testing the new notes component with my app, based on Google tables. It did not work as expected - the text did not save, and if I connected the component to an empty cell it did not show at all.

When I tried the same things with a Glide table it worked as expected.

Am I missing something?

Thanks  
Dvir

Is the behavior the same both on desktop and mobile?

When I tested the Notes component, it worked well on desktop and not well on mobile.

Are you clicking the Done button when you are finished editing your note?

I don’t even have that button ☹

Again, only when the table is a Google Sheet, with Glide tables it works just fine.

What kind of column are you using to store the note?

This is what I see. First time using the component, so I don’t know the in’s and out’s of it yet, or if there are any bugs.

Hi Dvir,

It feels like we’re experiencing the same issue here. I don’t think it’s related to google sheet as I’m using glide tables. [Notes can't be edited](https://community.glideapps.com/t/notes-cant-be-edited/64014)

Both rich text and text column have the same problem for me.

I’m beginning to think that it’s a bug. I’ve seen a few reports now with similar issues.

In the Layout Editor, I see two different layouts for desktop and mobile. I have only tested this in the builder.

**Desktop**

 ![CleanShot 2023-07-19 at 10.37.57@2x](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/7/1/717e2e795c83b1765b7d00dedc3f2b8ef9ae1c0d.jpeg)

**Mobile**

On mobile, the “Done” button does not appear and prevents submitting the changes or even the text that was input.

I think you’re on to something. My problematic note field was in a 1:1 container, so it was narrow (like on mobile). When I changed the container to full width it fixed the problem.

We are investigating issues with the Note component not saving properly.
