Auto Layout behavior in component instances

Keegan_Foster

I have a dropdown component that has 4 selectable options inside an auto-layout.

If I’m in a component instance and I want to add a 5th selectable option, I select an option [item] and duplicate it.

Instead of sticking in the component and it’s auto-layout, the option is sent outside of the component completely.

Is this behavior intentional? I would assume in an instance of a component I can still add items to an auto layout.

If this behavior is intended, how should a “list” component - where more options may need to be added - be handled?

You cannot add new elements to a component instance. Therefore, the forum has the following requests:

Currently you can create a component with the maximum number of items and then hide the unused ones.
