Custom properties for layout/stack (and other things too)

General
1

A few questions on custom properties…

  • How do I view custom properties for a layout?
  • How can i make custom properties for a layout available to other layouts or is this not possible (Do I have to use global variables instead of custom properties for this) ?
  • Are custom properties still a thing or shouldn’t we use them?
  • Is there a higher “app” level that I can set custom properties at instead?
  • If there isn’t a higher App level, have you thought about adding one? (Then we can have App and Layouts just like we had Stacks and Cards and add scripts to it too :slight_smile: )

Thanks, Al.

Hi @J9V6

  1. The property inspector doesn’t let you view them yet but this is planned. They can still be used by scripts or in the message box though.
  2. You should be able to do this by referencing the layout/stack by name.
  3. They are still a thing and more with custom properties will be integrated into Create at a later date.
  4. Not yet.
  5. This is something we are discussing but we’re not sure exactly how we are going to structure things yet.

I hope this answers your questions, let me know if something isn’t clear or if you’d like more clarification :slight_smile:

Hi Adam,

Thanks for the comprehensive reply and info. Looking forward to seeing what comes of the app level discussions too.
