    I need to instance several buttons and set the text of each one. I have tried several ways, from searchin the button and setting its text member (I get an error) to searching for some Text or text child but neither works.

    Not sure why setting a button's 
    .text
    property wouldn't work. It should be as simple as this:

    Code (CSharp):
    1. var button = new UnityEngine.UIElements.Button()
    2. {
    3.     text = "Some Text"
    4. };
    5. Add(button);

    Last night, after days of work, I found the solution. Cant remember what was it, but for some reason the instanced TemplateContainer Q<> wasnt returning the button.
