Entering HEX Color Code in Paragraph Style

[iSteve]

Been trying to create a paragraph style with a line below the text (decoration) in blue. However APub doesn't allow me to enter (or paste) the HEX color code into the field. I can select the current one, but cannot change it.

That could have been a “new user, first post” anti-spamming restriction. Please try again.

By the way, if you hover your mouse pointer over the “AP” in your post, you’ll see that it’s understood to refer to Affinity Photo. Please use the abbreviation APub or APu for Affinity Publisher.

Hi @iSteve and welcome to the forums,

I can confirm the same issue, the Hex Code field won't accept pasted values, and likewise I can't delete existing or type any new values in the text box... I'm unsure if this is a known bug but if not it will be picked up and logged as such by one of the moderators...

Possibly, though I get the same error quite often, it may just be a server error as I've seen plenty of first time posters include screenshots, but equally I could be wrong...

Yup this is a known issue and already logged with the Dev team  

I'll update the report with a link back to this thread so we can update here when it's been resolved.
