Is there a way to change the root container type of an EXISTING view?

Thank you.

No, once you select the root container type, you’re locked in.

Unless of course you change it in the json, but you’ll also then need to fix up your component position props as well. I wrote a script to do this for me

@nminchin can you please share where to find the json associated with the root container? how complex is the script to change container type? regards

Shift + right click on the view and there’s a copy and paste json option. Otherwise, you can also edit the View’s json in the file in the file system itself
