Change the background color

I want to change the background color of the colorBlockR based on the text in the colorInput object by a button click. There is no backend for this page. I can change the color in the logic but having trouble getting the data from the input text cell to be recognized.

Hello @Brent_Bell,

welcome to our community!
I recommend you watch the video tutorial about Data Binding:

This should give you an understanding of how to bind data between UI components and logic.
