Problem with Event Type property on Components.

[jcambareri]

I am creating a button as a component with a specific style. For this button, I am creating an "Event" type property to simulate the OnSelect. In this property, one can write the events that are needed. Within the component, this property is used in the OnSelect event of a button. The issue I'm having is that when the component is used, both at runtime and design time, when I enter the event type property, the code I have written executes if I hover over a line. For instance, if I wrote "Navigate(xxx)" in the property, and I hover over that line to modify it or something, it executes. It's very risky because I use this component sometimes with the Patch event, and if I hover over it at design time, the Patch executes, as if there were a bug in this type of properties

I noticed this is a few days ago and I can say that it is really annoying. After several hours of mucking around with the different settings, I noticed something very strange when creating a new component property. The "property type" options Data, Function, Event and Action are no longer available. They have been replaced with the options Input and Output that were once under the "property definition" dropdown. All component properties that were using one of those property types are now INOP.

NOW

Notice how "Event" is missing meaning I cannot edit that property type.

EDIT: Save any formula you used for those component properties BEFORE you fix what they broke. Mine were deleted as soon as I made the change. Thankfully, I am using a test copy of my app. 

So, I just changed a copied version of my app to this authoring version: 

When the app reloaded, I received this lovely notification: 

I now see that the property types are back: 

And I see that the broken component properties (previously Event), now all have Text. Compare the similar snippet.

Hi, yes, I already had that version as the "recommended version". The problem was found a while ago, and I'm not sure if it actually happened with the previous version, but the behavior is quite risky. It would be important if someone from Microsoft could address the issue. thanks!

If you use the one I highlighted in yellow it will fix the problem. Just save all of your formulas in a text file.

Yes, I already had that version 3.24032.26, with the property as text, but the problem persists. If I hover over the source code of the property when inserting the component, it executes itself. That's the issue I'm referring to.

Okay. I understand. It is very annoying, but I'm glad to have the property types back. Hopefully Microsoft will resolve that issue.
