Hey, @krupajnanda
I see the color does reflect for the button but not the Input field.
When one toggles the button off then the settings render useless.

[krupajnanda]

@benniledl Could you please share the screen recording of the steps you are following? I am not clear if you are facing issue with Button Text or Background?

[krupajnanda]

@benniledl I think the behaviour is correct as when those properties are for changing the color of the "Search Button" and when there is no button present it would not be reflected anywhere.

There should be a way to handle this scenario when "Search button" isn't present, those style should get disabled.

[benniledl]

The setting does not explicitely say button color/background. I think we should not disable the settings but rather apply the settings to the input field when no button is present.

Hi

Kindly remember that both bug fixes and enhancements for the editor and the blocks are managed in the Gutenberg GitHub repository and not on Trac.
Therefor, to progress on this type of issue, a new issue needs to be created on GitHub, and this ticket can then be closed.

The color option for this block does only affect the button, that is how the feature is built, and as such the missing color on the input field is not a bug.

If I understand correctly, the scope of this ticket has changed from being a bug report, to a request for an enhancement about when the color option is being displayed?

-The problem with hiding the controls is that for some users, hiding the control would be expected, but for other users it would make it more confusing. There is no ideal solution as different users will have different needs. A middle way would be to display them but as disabled.

Hey @poena 👋
Thank you for sharing your valuable feedback. Much appreciated! 🙇‍♀️

I agree with what you had suggested here.

I am closing this issue from here. @benniledl would you please create a new ticket on GH?

Thank you! 🙌

Once an upstream ticket is created, could it just be added here for easy reference?
