Either add padding and border to a Text object or add bullet points to shape objects


I often need to add text and bullet points to a box that has a background and border. Right now, a shape can’t contain bullet points. But a text box can’t have padding and a border. So the only way to do this is to combine and group objects but then editability is awful. For example, as text is added, the text overflows and the bounding shape has to be adjusted. 

Please can we either have better text editing in shapes or the ability to add a border and padding to a text object? (Perhaps they should both be the same object just with different initial settings? But perhaps there is more to consider here with different scaling behaviours required)

Was it helpful?

I really need this too.

I constantly use bordered text boxes with bullet liste within. My workaround is to copy and paste a text box I created before the option set borders was removed. But that limits me to that specific color, which is annoying.


Yes, please do this. Preferably before Monday.

This is almost a deal breaker to choose other tools for me.

Just spent an hour trying to achieve this - should have come here first.

Do Miro people ever actually commit to doing something like this?
