I’m trying to copy component properties from one to the other without copying the variants. This is very useful when creating the device variations for the same component. I know one solution is putting all the device variations in the same component but sometimes the client wants every breakpoint device as an isolated one.
Hi. I’m not sure I understand completely. So I’m guessing you have a set of components with various properties grouped together as variants. And you want to add a component into the variant set that is not already there? Or you want to hive off and make a whole other cluster of components and group that new cluster as variants?
For the second case: One thing I do is copy out of the variant box one of the component variants using Ctrl+C and Ctrl+ V. Then make a copy of that–so now you have two copies. Then you can detach both. Then you can select the portion of detached component 1 that has the properties you want, and do a "Copy properties- from the right click menu. Then select that same section on detached component 2 and on the right click menu choose paste properties. Then select the second detached component and create a component from it.
