SOLVED: Youtube video lightbox + text not working

Bricks Version: 1.5.6
Browser: Chrome 90
OS: macOS
URL:

this is what’s working now:
when you create a button and link it to a light box and add the YouTube video full url, everything works…

the problem:
the video player, requires only the video ID in order to work.

to solve this problem I switched all the custom fields to store only the video ID and on the button light box, I manually added the YouTube URL before the custom field variable. When I did that, the variable didn’t convert to the stored value… instead it showed the variable name without the brackets.

any suggestions?
thank you

Hi Robert,
Thanks so much for your report!

I was able to reproduce the issue and added it to our bug tracker.
As far as I can see, there is no temporary workaround available.

Best regards,

I found a workaround while we wait for a fix.
I left the dynamic field empty

and use the attributes section to add the attribute data-bricks-lightbox-video-url and the dynamic value. like this:

https://youtube.com/watch?v={mb_works_work--video-id}

Hope this helps someone else going thru the same issue.

Hey @gdnwebmedia ,
Bricks 1.6 beta contains a fix for this problem. However, we would be happy if you could briefly test whether the problem is fixed so that we can include it in Bricks 1.6 stable.

You can find the beta version in your account:
