I have a view (page) with root (direction set to column). In this root I am adding a bunch of flex containers (each of them are row direction). As I add more flex containers to the root I see the designer compresses each of the flex container to fit on the screen. I see the same effect on the browser as well. I want my view to grow vertically so user can scroll to content vertically. I tried various options like - style (overflow), position(grow), hard coding heights on the individual flex containers with no success except hard coding a very high style.height (like 2000px) on the root. But I don't want to hard code the height. Any suggestions?

- Shift-select all the flex containers in the Project Browser.
- In Property Editor set

```auto
POSITION
    grow : 0
    shrink : 0 <--- the important one!
    basis : 300px <--- or whatever.

```

If you've messed up the root properties then try these:

```auto
PROPS
    direction : column
    wrap : nowrap
    justify : flex-start
    aligItems : stretch
    style
        overflow : auto

```

Play with `position.basis` and see if you can set this to `auto` so that it adopts the dimensions of the flex containers and that you're not setting parameters twice. You should probably then do the same with the flex containers, making sure that `grow : 0` is set.
