Copy conditional visibility

24

I would love the ability to right-click a data view/layout grid/input box/whatever and select "copy conditional visibility".

Sometimes when creating a large overview (especially when the page is used for multiple user roles), you end up with a ton of conditional visibility. In cases like these it would be great to be able to copy and - of course - paste them.

The same could go for editability!

such a feature would be awesome. extended with:

  • Copy Multiple properties:
    • Design properties
    • classes
    • Visibility
    • dynamic classes
    • render modes
    • accessibility attributes
    • tooltips (+ convert caption to tooltip)
  • copy individually properties (list from above)
  • Copy/Paste on click action (just like the copy prototype flow in Adobe XD)
  • visibility expression to attribute-based
    • (currently when there are a lot of checks, people use the transform to expression as it’s easier to copy, but you might get inconsistent variations between the two options. and it’s less readable)
    • would be nice if we could transform back if it’s a single attribute (and ofcourse copy/paste)
  • Transform To with properties
    • Labels to text (visa versa)
    • container to layoutgrid (visa versa)
    • datagrids/lists would be awesome to, but I expect that’s quite a heavy feature.

I am rebuilding a mx7 appinto mx9, the amount of conditional visibility on legacy items, on tables and mess, I would love to copy paste conditional visbility from a table to a container or text element.

thats an awesome idea.

In Adobe XD when you copy an element you copy multiple properties, and then paste just one of them.

example

Copy item (ctrl+c)
rightclick, paste appereance

I could imagine same thing here.

copy item, paste classes, conditional visibility, or some other property that would make sense :D
