Append text to MultiLineEditableTextbox in Widget created on Event Begin Play

[R.Achmann]

[FSO] UE 5.5 Beginner here! [FSO]

In my Level Library, i have a Widget Blueprint that has a MultiLineEditableTextBox

In it’s event graph, I set the focus to the MLETB when created:

In my level blueprint on Begin Play, I create the widget:

But when I ‘Play’, I can see the widget, but can’t enter any text in the text box.

I’ve seen may examples on YouTube, but this MLETB is in a widget… I can’t seem to get it to work! Help!

You should change input mode to “game and ui” or “only ui”

I do see text for static text:

Ok, after reviewing the font for static textbox, I was able to use the font dropdown for my MLETB as well and assign a font. Perhaps a bug? It now works as expected
