I do not see the option in my editor. Is this available to everyone?

Hi there - if you have product betas enabled in your partner dashboard, you should be able to see this feature :slight_smile:

finally!

Hi! Fantastic option. I found one glitch. Basically, when connected to a Dataset the enabled Vertical Text doesn’t work. Or rather it works but the text formatting is overridden.

In this example, the text box in the editor is set to Heading 2: Helvetica Bold, size 28, color # 666666. In the first photos below, I didn’t use vertical text, I just rotated the text box sideways and connected it to the database “Title” field (Properties settings “regular text”).

When you go to Preview, the sideways text box connects to data perfectly and the font settings remain intact:

In this next example, I then instead enable the Vertical Text setting in:

The above text box is still connected to the same dataset (Properties Item) and the same database field (Field Name: Property Name & Field Type: Text). However, now when I go to Preview the “Otama” text is no longer Helvetica Bold, size 28, but a rather tiny font size and some other random font:

For now, I just disabled the Vertical text option and just have a regular text box rotated sideways. But would love to be able to use the Vertical Text option when working with Data in future!
