Hi @rvassilatos 

Not all shapes in Lucidchart allow direct text entry by double-clicking. Containers, Venn diagram circles, and some flow chart shapes might fall into this category.

• Instead of double-clicking the shape, try adding a text box or sticky note from the shapes menu. Drag and drop it onto the shape or your desired location and enter your text there
• Else, create a text box with your content and then group it with the shape. Select both objects, right-click, and choose "Group" to keep them linked.

Hope this helps - Happy to help further!!
Thank you very much and have a great one!
Warm regards

thanks for the response. When I did this, the text box isn’t obvious to the user. I can leave the ‘type something’ text in there which is fine but, when grouped, for them to start they would have to double click into the ‘grouped’ shaped/text boxes then double click again to start typing. It’s not the best user friendly experience

Hi @rvassilatos, and thanks @Humas1985 for the great tips! 

Another alternative would be to add a note to the post it or Lucid card. To do that, double-click the object and select Add note from the menu.
