How to edit text box after pressing enter?
I am making a game and it uses text boxes, but I want to be able to edit the text boxes after pressing enter/clicking off the text box but I can't, I have looked at the API reference but nothing is mentioning this, please help!

You'll want to use the Focused and FocusLost events to do this. https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/event/TextBox/FocusLost and https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/event/TextBox/Focused Gey4Jesus69 2705 — 4y

I've never attempted this before, but I can imagine some uses! After some quick thought, this should solve your predicament:
1 | local TextBox = script.Parent |
2 |
3 |
4 | TextBox.FocusLost:Connect(function(EnterPressed) |
5 | if not (EnterPressed) then return end |
6 | --------------- |
7 | TextBox:CaptureFocus() |
8 | end) |

When I press enter, the text resets but i can still type inside of the box and clicking outside of the text box and clicking on it resets the text. jwklong 32 — 4y

That's due to the ClearTextOnFocus boolean. Toggle it off; if you're trying to make a multi-line TextBox, there is already a built-in option to enable that feature within the TextBox's properties. Ziffixture 6913 — 4y
