Can't edit net label text

stevenmowen389 · October 17, 2026, 9:09am

Steps I took that resulted in the problem:

added net label part to schematic sheet, can’t find any editable field for the net label text in the inspector window.
…

What I expected should have happened instead:

should be an editable field in the properties section in the inspector window.
…

My version of Fritzing and my operating system:

v1.0.8 on windows 11
…

Please also attach any files that help explaining this problem

Did you try clicking on the name to edit it?

The edit field is easy to overlook or mistake for static text.

When placing a net label, the name cannot be edited or changed. It remains at th…e default name. <img width="629" height="746" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/8b297840-8e83-4764-bb88-23afea2922d1" /> **Build:** Version 1.0.8 (CD-2843-0-5aa56a510 2026-07-28) 64 [Qt 6.8.3] **Operating System:** Windows 11 **Steps to Reproduce:** 1.
