Hello, I’m unclear on how to set the initial active tab for the Common Tab list widget when linked to a Common Activatable Widget Switcher.

Setting the index doesn’t change what’s active initially. Is this property overwritten when used with the Tab List widget?

Hi,

Once a tab list is linked to the switcher, you’ll want to avoid making any changes on the switcher itself and instead allow the tab list to manage it. Once you’ve registered your tabs, you can use Select Tab by ID on the Tab List to set an initial selection (which will both move the switcher to the proper index and set the selection state of the associated tab button).

Best,

Cody

Thanks Cody, I tested this further and it works. I must have tried doing it through the widget switcher in the past.
