Known Issues and Workarounds
Mashup Builder
The Value property of Text Field and Text Area widgets is a redundant property that was removed, and is no longer listed on the Properties panel. When you open or import a mashup with existing bindings to the property, bindings may still appear on the Bindings panel. Remove those bindings manually and use the Text property instead.
