When I’m adding fabric in, and adding multiple colours in the fabric, the active field moves back to the fabric title/name field and I find I’ve accidentally added a colour onto the end of the fabric name. Can it stay on the colours field so we can add one colour after the other - or even better tick the colours that are in the fabric from our current colours list and/or add new colour.

I think it jumps to where you last imputed, so if you click in the box closest to the colour field it shouldn’t do that big jump. Worth a try

@InherentlyRed I cannot reproduce the situation on my app on my phone (I’m on Android).

Are you using iPhone / iPad / web version please? I only ask as this may be expected behaviour from the app, but if it isn’t and “if” it is a bug then it’s useful for @TheWizard to know which system someone is using when a “bug” 🐛 gets reported ☺

I was on either iPad or iPhone but I can’t reproduce it now either. Maybe it only happened when loading new fabric rather than editing existing. Will have a play around and see if I can reproduce it - but it was really irritating the other evening.

Fair enough - thanks for trying to reproduce it again ☺

That’s definitely not ideal. I see in the comments you can’t reproduce but let me know if it happens again. I do have an update coming out very soon where fields like “Colour” are slightly different.
