FieldSet not displaying correctly

I have added two FieldSet widgets to a tab on my newest web page.

Here is the Tab Properties for the Edit Hold FieldSet showing that it is assigned to the third tab.

One problem is that both FieldSet widgets show up in all tabs in the designer:

Another problem is that neither one appears when the display file is compiled and the program is called.

Does anyone else have this issue or know how to get the FieldSet widgets to work correctly?

Thanks, Rich. I have recreated the problem on our system. Let me see if we can't get this taken care of quickly.

Hi Rich,

I just had a conversation with the developer that is the expert in this area. The problem is, both a tab panel and a fieldset are container widgets, meaning they can contain other widgets. Currently, Profound UI does not support nesting containers. This is something we plan to have in the future, but unfortunately, it is not a quick fix. At the moment, we do not have a concrete timeframe for when this will be released. One recommendation is to use a panel widget instead of the fieldset. While the panel widget looks like a container, it is really just a background image, so the nesting issue doesn't apply.

I hope that helps
