    Wanted to let you know the team shipped a fix for this and it should now function on all shapes with borders! Thanks for bringing it to our attention, and let us know if you have any further issues!

    Hi @dallas_4094,

    I gave this a try on my end, and gradients on borders are working for me, so it's not broken across the board.

    Not every border style in Express supports a gradient. On the styles that do (i.e. the solid and dashed/dotted lines), the linear gradient applies fine (I tested it). But if you apply a gradient while on a border style that doesn't support one, that could be why it drops out instead of showing.

    So a couple of things:

    • Which border style are you using when it disappears (solid line, dashed, dotted, or one of the decorative ones)?

    • Does it hold up if you try the same gradient on a plain solid border style first?

    • If you have a screen recording, it would also help me try to reproduce your exact workflow as well!

    Thanks,

    Rose

    Ah I see, if it's true then it makes sense because I tried doing it with a Hexagon and Octogan shapes

    Forgot to mention it only happens with certain shapes like those, completely fine with a circle.

     

    Pure solid line as well
