Label is missing FontBold setter block

[Lito]

For some reason, the 'FontBold' Property of Labels has been forgotten in the MIT App Inventor2... and cannot be changed programatically in the Block Editor.

In the Label's drawer there is no reference to this Property... and in the Documentation is cited as 'Designer Only' (Together with FontItalic)

In the Editor nor is it possible to find it at Dropdown Properties for Label...

This means that what is decided in the Designer for FontBold or FontItalic from a Label will be fatally unchanged.

Even by calling the help ( ? ) of this Property in the Designer, the text states that its value can be returned if requested... but this is not possible, because there is no way to invoke such Property, neither for writing nor for reading.

It would be great to be able to have this Property available.

You can do this now with the CompCreator extension...

(apologies for clutter)

I saw extensions that solve the problem ...

LabelPlus - Additional methods for the Label component

Blocks: - These blocks set and return whether the entire label is clickable. clickable - true - label is clickable, false - no clickable, feedback - determines whether the click should be felt in the form of vibration or sound depending on the phone settings, [blocks (86)] [blocks - 2021-05-30T195137.952] - This block sets the label text range as a clickable link. hideLink - the text that will be returned to the Click event, if this text is empty, the method will return the clicked…

But besides wanting to understand why such a basic resource was omitted in the Inventor2 app and requesting a review of this, I'm also trying to avoid a certain 'Anti-Award'...

If there is no good reason why this property has been omitted, I believe it should be part of native programming resources.

For what it's worth, you can set the Label as HTML and wrap the text with <b> and </b>
to get bold text

No extensions needed.
