Target Platforms

SDK Version

Application Name

Microsoft Teams

Problem Description

Hello,

I am trying to render a card which contains a RichTextBlock with two TextRun with the JavaScript SDK :

  1. Is a simple text TextRun
  2. Is a clickable TextRunwith OpenUrlAction as selectAction

Everything is fine while creating my RichTextBlock : when I watch the .toJSON() result I can see my selectAction.

After using AdaptiveCards.addItem and watch the .toJSON() of my AdaptiveCards I don't see the selectAction anymore.

Microsoft Teams is rendering my card but there is not OpenUrlAction on the second TextRun.

It seems like the method .addItem remove selectAction from my TextRun.

Maybe I am not using well the JavaScript SDK ?

Sample Code Language

TypeScript

Sample Code
const card = new AdaptiveCard();
const richTextBlock = new RichTextBlock();

const textRun1 = new TextRun('first text sample');
textRun1.weight = TextWeight.Bolder;

const textRun2 = new TextRun('second url text sample');
textRun2.weight = TextWeight.Bolder;
textRun2.color = TextColor.Accent;

const openUrlAction = new OpenUrlAction();
openUrlAction.url = "http://sampleurl.com";
textRun2.selectAction = openUrlAction;

richTextBlock.addInline(textRun1);
richTextBlock.addInline(textRun2);

card.addItem(richTextBlock);

Research direction

Start with the AdaptiveCard.addItem and RichTextBlock.addInline entry points, reproducing the supplied TypeScript sample and comparing each toJSON result. Trace where TextRun.selectAction is lost; done means the OpenUrlAction remains in the card JSON and renders as a clickable second TextRun.
