I have a button that is disabled. It shows disabled; however, it is still clickable and the link shows at the bottom of the screen even while it’s disabled. I don’t believe this happened until recently. Is this something going on with the new update? Screenshots below. **Button disabled:** ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/weweb/original/2X/1/14f446da30ef862ab51fd84720cdbd09ee8eb4b6.png) **URL that is set (set all the time, but only supposed to work when button NOT disabled):** ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/weweb/original/2X/9/9f8385bcea1fd616c51a5a9ee2e75790dcc9f6c4.png) **Result: button shows disabled, but is still clickable** : ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/weweb/original/2X/1/1f7804374142a84c2d33474710e8e1f29f130e2d.png) ---

I just tested in case as this would be a massive problem for us if it did and I could not replicate this issue ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/weweb/original/2X/f/f5a03956dc3228a1d71fc62c356e53b5f2600b80.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/weweb/original/2X/0/0a5a62bd3b7186e2365b721811d15f0c4c8400b4.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/weweb/original/2X/d/d205b1a4c9abdf67b4a32c2f184eda5d1e544f89.png) This is what the variable should look like if it worked, I tested by turning disabled off ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/weweb/original/2X/f/fb31d1e863037ec1ba34f29718ee41e3082d8531.png) So unsure if you have a bug or something else going on. ---

Disabled doesn’t prevent click I’m afraid. Disabled should just prevent focus and form submits. You might as well handle this yourself in a workflow. ---

Thanks Broberto, but are you saying that the buttons are an `` anchor element styled to look like a button?
