Math don't work in Properties

[SOTR654]

Any simple math calculation (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, etc.) don’t work and is overwritten as 0.

Expected behavior

Let the maths work, useful when you want to add units manually.

These variables are not set up for functions. They take in a number value. Please run any calculations to modify a variable value within a script.

Sure, it works in script, but I remember I used to be able to do the same calculation in Properties.

Maybe I’m wrong, but would it be a good change?

I just saw this post (a bit late lol):

Properties Menu No Longer Allows Math Eval

Previously, in the properties menu, I was able to run math equations for values, which helped a lot with positioning and scaling UI. It appears that in the latest studio version (0.663.0.6630659), this feature has broken. You can reproduce this by creating a TextLabel and attempt to put a position with a math operation. Expected behavior Math equations should be evaluated for the property input.

but the value remains, now it changes to 0 (tested in BasePart.Position and BasePart.Size)

Guessing this has to do with interpretation of non-numeric symbols like those used in math evals. When you try to put in other values or symbols that arent numerical it will set it to the min.

I don’t know what you’re saying there, expressionEval is a specific part of Studio meant for the properties panel to accept math equations such as the ones shown in the video. Them not working is indeed a bug.
