Model Documentation Properties window is not working

[ FlexSim 24.1.0 ]

I am having trouble editing text in the Model Documentation "Table".

The properties window does not show the text properly, and does not allow me to edit at all:

Or if I double click it looks like this:

I can edit it if I switch to the html editor, but I don't know enough html commands to make that practical.

Is there a setting or something that I need to change?

(My model is confidential, but I can send it to FlexSim staff if needed.)

Is does the same thing in a new model, so you don't need mine!

Hello @Claire, you need not to write html code yourself. Other programs can save text and other content as a html file, like common used text writer programs (MS Word, OpenOffice Write, …). You open such a file in a text editor and you copy the code from there into FlexSim documentation slides.

Thanks Joerg, I'm sure that's possible, but the Model Documentation Table is designed to be just typed into, so that would be much easier...when it works!

I already have documentation in Word and PowerPoint format, but I just wanted to put something in the model itself just in case the novice customer wants to look at it and get our contact info etc.

Thanks for reporting this Clare - it looks like a bug was introduced in version 24.1 - I've created an issue for the dev team to investigate.

Model Documentation is not working in 2025.0.4 or I don't understand how it works.

All I want is to type long text description in a dashboard but I can't type in the tool whether I try in the dashboard item or in its properties panels. In any case, it just doesn't take my text. It's like I'm doign nothing.
