Disable not working as expected

[WisdomPanda]

Can we access your project?

• I give permission for members of the FlutterFlow team to access and test my project for the sole purpose of investigating this issue.

Current Behavior

I was trying to set a button to disable based on a checkbox/switch, however for the life of me it wouldn't work.

After investigating a bit more, regardless of the action/value that's put into it, it simply won't disable correctly, even if I directly set disabled to true.

However, setting "preview in UI builder" oddly does force it to be true.

Expected Behavior

Disabled should react to the value/condition that is set.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a new project
2. Add a page
3. Add a button
4. Set the button's disabled field to true
5. Set a color to something you can see
6. Preview

Reproducible from Blank

• The steps to reproduce above start from a blank project.

Hi!

I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing this issue.

I’ve tried to reproduce the error, but I wasn’t able to.

I noticed that the disabled state of the button isn’t being applied because you're viewing the project in Preview mode. In this mode, there are some limitations. However, if you switch to Test mode, you should see the button correctly disabled, with the styles you applied.

Here’s something that might be helpful for you: https://docs.flutterflow.io/testing/run-your-app/

Best regards

@Juansarmi thanks for your feedback - it really wasn't obvious to me that it wouldn't work in preview, so was banging my head thinking it was me - can confirm it works in test mode. 👍

I’m glad everything is working as expected now! I’ll go ahead and close this issue, but if you encounter anything else, please don’t hesitate to open a new one!
