Hi,

i have a popup with a flex container where i resize the height depending on the displayed elements. This works ok if the popup stays on the same position. But when i move the popup, it doesn’t work anymore.

I have linked the default height with a parameter, because the actual height is not available.

Is there a way to make this work when the popup is moved? Or even better, is there a method on a flex container that makes the size equal to the sum of the displayed containers?

You can set the view's size to auto to make it resize automatically.

See here

> Adding this to the adv. stylesheet will allow popups to be resized dynamically. Without this, the size gets stuck when you're trying to reduce the size (I believe). Taken from [here](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/perspective-popup-height-changes-when-dragged/96657/6). .ia\_popup[id^="popup-"]{ height: auto !important; } Also, setting the popup View's props.defaultSize.height: auto will auto-size the popup's height dynamically to its content which is quite useful.
