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.

Experiencing this issue as well within my own experience on the latest Roblox studio version

CC’ing @tnavarts here for acknowledgement :pray:

What you’re trying to do there never worked for UDim2. If you try a Vector3 property you’ll see that it still works there.

It worked. I ALWAYS used values like 1/7+1/3 here, and that helped me hell a lot.
It not works now. Just not works. Anywhere. Even on Vector3.

This has always worked since it was added a long while ago. I purposefully reverted my Studio version just to use this feature due to how much of a pain this bug is.

Here’s a timestamp for a 2 month old live stream where I use this feature on a UDim2:

I’ve been using this feature almost exclusively on UDim2

Bump. This has always worked before, and its suddenly become way more annoying dealing with UI.

I stand corrected. I though this only worked on Vector2 / Vector3 (don’t remember working around it when implementing the UDim part of shorthand properties pane input) but I remembered it wrong apparently.

I’ll see what’s up.
