oh i just made this and delete it.

if i set the font size of button respectively, then they work so fine.  
but if there are many buttons (or labels) in a column (or row),  
then i might want to set whole buttons in a column at once.

so i think this situation above is either my mistake or bug.

or  
On screen start - changes all the font to whatever you set it at

haha yes. like i said i can make it if i set font size seperately.

but actually, i made some font resizing feature in my project.

So i wanted set whole components in A COLUMN at once using “any component” block.

If you provide a link to the project, it will be easier to understand the problem.

That block gives a list as a result, so it’s not gonna work like that.

You can work it around using the block “for every item in list X do this”

Hope it helps
