Dear Thunkers,

We’re excited to release some productivity enhancements for the Thunkable ✕ Cross-Platform. We hope these help save you time as you build your beautiful apps.

**① Duplicate Components**  
This button duplicates a component and its properties (but not its blocks)

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

</div>

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

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

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

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?

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:

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

</div>

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:

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](https://github.com/thunkable/thunkable-issues/issues/new/choose)? That will make it easier for us to track and prioritize it.
