Hello! I’m working on a Shared AR Project in Studio and I had planned to make players typing messages to each other a central component of the experience. However, I see in Studio that the only options for UI include Frame, Text, Button, and Image. I’m just wondering if I’m missing something or if text fields are indeed not supported within studio.
Will I have to build my project with the old editor if I want to have a text input field?
Hi, welcome to the forum!
Text fields aren’t built-in, you can build them out yourself using a Custom Component. However I’ll make sure the team is aware of this request.
Thank you for your response, is there a way in a custom component to make the on-screen keyboard appear?
Your best bet is to create an invisible HTML <input> element and listen for changes on it / use it to store your text value.

Fantastic! I’m so glad that this is possible, thank you!
