[RESOLVED] Spinner cannot be edited

Hi ​@Tatyana Stek 

Thanks for reaching out!

If you're unable to edit the Spinner options, it may be because the Spinner is currently set to use the list of people on the board instead of custom text, or you may not have edit access to the board.

You can try the following:

1. Select the Spinner widget on your board.
2. Click the Edit (pencil) icon from the context menu.
3. In the edit panel, use the drop-down menu at the top to switch from People to Custom options.
4. Add, edit, or remove your own options as needed (the Spinner supports up to 20 custom options).
5. Close the panel and spin the wheel.

You can find more information in the Miro Help Center here:Spinner Wheel Widget

If you don't see the Edit option or can't switch to Custom options, could you let us know:

• Are you using Miro in a browser, desktop app, or mobile app?
• Do you have Editor access to the board, or are you a Viewer/Commenter?

We'll be happy to help troubleshoot further!

Thank you for the solution you provided. The problem is different. I can switch the modes but I simply can’t remove these “heads/tails” and also I can’t add my own options. I suppose that the widget could be broken. I tried doing the same on my second account but it didn’t work as well. 

Hi ​@Tatyana Stek Thanks for the additional details!

I tested the Spinner widget on my end, and it appears to be working as expected. I was able to remove the default Heads/Tails options and add custom options successfully.

Could you try creating a new Spinner widget on a different board and check if the issue persists? If it still doesn’t work, could you please share a screenshot or a short screen recording showing the steps you’re taking? This will help us investigate further.

Thanks!

 

​@Dina Sapongay / ​@Tatyana Stek The widget does appear to be experiencing technical difficulties 🤔

For me, when I try to edit text in input fields, the keystrokes are registered on the canvas and not in the input field, even though the cursor focus is in the spinner widget field (e.g., pressing T activates the text tool). This is happening in Chromium and Gecko browsers on both Windows and macOS. I’ll open a ticket and update this post as I learn more.

Update #1:

Our support team has confirmed that there is an ongoing issue related to this widget, and that they're aware of it. We will make sure to update you as soon as we can confirm that the issue has been fixed.

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it

I’m a huge fan of the Spinner Wheel widget. I use it with my students all the time. However, I’ve recently started experiencing problems with it. I can add it to my boards, copy existing ones, and delete options I’ve previously added, but for some reason I can no longer edit the options. Whenever I add a new option and try to type what I need (typically numbers like 1, 2, 3, etc.), nothing appears.

I can still copy existing Spinner Wheels, of course, but I’d like to be able to create and edit new ones. Can anyone help? 😞

​@Lola Rums I merged your post into this existing one. The last update (from today) is that the team is still working to fix the bugs.

I would just like to add that I’m experiencing the same issue and the Poll widget is also behaving in the same way.
I’m the owner of the board I’m trying to edit and I’ve created Poll Widgets in the past without problems, so this seems to be a new bug.
