Autolayouts have 3 aligment options (left/top, center and right/bottom), but I would find it useful if I could reposition an element as I wish. The case is this:

I can’t reposition the cancel icon as I wish, which makes it misaligned. The only way I can go about it giving that icon an autolayout of itself, which seems useless and makes my structure bloated. Could this be an added feature?

Hi @Bart_Van_Hecke, Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us!


Is sounds like you are looking for way to place the X icon precisely relative to the parent auto layout container.

If that’s the case, you might want to consider applying an absolute position. Here are the details: Explore auto layout properties - ​​Absolute position

Also, I came across an idea from another community member that might align with your needs, though I’m not entirely sure. Please check it out: Ability to pin objects to the side of a container

Hi @Junko3 I did consider absolute position but it doesn’t scale relatively when I resize the component and @Ben_Dansby solution would be great. So I voted for both topics 😉

Thx
