Change your property filter from “Basic” to “Advanced”, then you can edit the border.

It is part of the border. Use the advanced border edit button.

Just in case you are still having trouble locating this:

Guys, pretty sure he isn’t using that title styling. I could be wrong though. In this case though, still turn on advanced as without it you’ll struggle to do much. But instead, bind to the ‘text’ property of the label.

Possible I guess, but not sure what else it could be (outside of multiple components layered on top of each other) since the “Text” property in his screenshot is empty.
