I can’t get the text value I have binded to be specific to a state.

When I change the binded text value under a new state, it translates back to the default state. This is different behavior than other fields like text color and icon image.

Is this expected for the text field? I’ll probably use a formula as a workaround.

Hi,  
yes it is indeed expected, the text property cannot be responsive or statefull by design.

Gotcha, I ended up putting the condition into an if function for the text field.
