LAUNCHED: Wrap elements in Auto Layout to multiple lines

It would be really great if there was an option in an auto layout frame where the frame would wrap the objects to the next line. Like this. Objects would respect the padding set in the Auto layout.

It would be a game-changer if there were more flex-box options, such as ‘wrap’ for autolayout, where you had the option to let elements wrap to the next line once the max width of the parent container is reached.

This would create a more realistic flow, and significantly reduce the number of layer structures needed. Currently, to create something like a list of tags, I need to create a separate row for each list and constantly adjust, delete, edit them to get the right orientation based on the tag content/text.

Hey. I also requested this feature and made this illustration for it:

I made a layer hack to achieve this since I doubt this feature would be implemented any time soon. → Check this out ←
I’ll make a tutorial on how this is made if people are really interested.

@Mr.Biscuit can you share the way you do Flex Wrap. I believe many people need to know this. Thanks in advance

This is a challenge. He didn’t actually do it.

He and @andre have a working solution, but they haven’t been shared yet because the challenge is still going. 🧠 🌪️

Here is the original file to my Flex Wrap Challenge (as shown this video)

I have tried for the last two weeks to make a tutorial for it but two of the crucial mechanisms just refuse to be reproduced (only works on direct copy) 🤣 so yeah, that’s how hard that challenge was.

I guess I did cast some magic spell on it the first time it’s made.
