I've been using the Text Field to log a sequence of text that gets updated periodically and the player can scroll through.
e.g.:
"some text
some more text added later here
some more text added even later here
some more text added even more later here"
and so forth
The issue I have encountered is that when the text inside is updated, the scroll Window of the text field defaults back to the top, while I would like the player to be seeing the latest entry which is at the bottom (now outside of the field of view).
My current work around is to have the entries added in reverse, top to bottom:
e.g.:
"some more text added even more later here
some more text added even later here
some more text added later here
some text"
and so forth
however, this feels unnatural reading from bottom to top. This is particularly an issue for my game given the player will be looking through this text sequentially frequently, and may have several new entries added at once. So their ability to look back a few entries and follow them to the latest entry is a must.
It would be great to see some way of setting the scroll position of the Text Field, such as a toggle in the widget options for favoring top position vs bottom, or some way to set the position via script so that I can set it after the text is updated.
Hope this makes sense!
