Thanks for the great news, but points 1 and 2 are not displayed in different browsers. Point 3 is working.

[paulmw]

Points 1 and 2 will be out in another hour or two.

[CBVG]

Is there any intention of eventually allowing a complete arrangement with its children sub-components, to be duplicated in this manner as well?

[paulmw]

You can duplicate rows and columns, and it will duplicate all of the components inside.

[Daniel_Coglitore]

Variables objects OMG!

[BlueWhaleYT]

Duplicate the component is really helpful

[samclever]

Has the issue with the initialized variables causing slowdowns been resolved yet?

[rez_moras]

Awesome…

[actech]

Ok, now I see all the points. I may be in a hurry, but I’m used to having a message about an event occur after this event has occurred.

Very nice and needed thx but;

If a column, or a row, contains other rows or columns, it won’t copy.

Can it be fixed?

[paulmw]

Duplicating nested rows and columns works for me. Could you provide a share link where duplication doesn’t work for you. My test project is below:

[alainchnrd47thf]

I can duplicate here but columns seems to duplicate as rows. Is it just me or I’m doing something wrong?

[Carlos_Escobar]

Thank you guys

[Deluxe]

After the update I can no longer cascade a “get property abc of object” > “get property xyz of object”; the two blocks just won’t snap to each other like they used to:

Editing projects with the old object blocks still works ok:

[kartik_old]

I also can’t do this…

[Yukold]

Nice…

But i still waiting to copy the screen…
And please, give a chance to zoom in and out the block IMAGE!!
I need use web viewer to do this and i need use the app in offline mode =(

[BlueWhaleYT]

I’m agree.
Screen is also component,why the developer do not do this.
Hopefully will be added soon.

Thanks for finding this @Deluxe. Sorry about the problem. We’ll take a look. To help us, for this and other issues that you discover, would you mind filing a bug report about it here? That will make it easier for us to track and prioritize it.
