I noticed recently that copy + paste properties (from shortcut and menu) no longer works on Auto Layout elements.

e.g. I used to be able to copy use it to copy horizontal gap between items, but now I can only do this by manually entering the values.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated, as it’s sloowwwwiinnnnng me down heaps.

Thanks community🙏

Hey ​@Jayfo - just a small heads up, we’ll be rolling out a database migration and this fix will temporarily be down. You may see the functionality revert back to the previous state where copy/paste properties doesn’t transfer some variable values.
