Missing "Fill Container" option

Can you please help me understand why “fill container” is not an option for the selected layer? I’ve looked through all similar topics and they don’t seem applicable. Attached SS of parent and child layers…

    Hi @telan

    You cannot use “fill container” because Prod Layout’s parent (auto-layout-e-commerce) isn’t an auto layout (as the icon # before its name shows it’s a simple frame).
    Either make #auto-layout-e-commerce an auto layout or go to the constraints section of Design panel and use for the width Left and Right (instead of Center)

    Hope it helped
