Trying to set what templates that’s enabled when a window is opened. Using custom properties and the property changed event and it all seems to work fine WHEN the window has been opened, just not the first time. After a little debugging I figured that `.getLoadedTemplates()` returns 0, even when filtering on the `componentRunning` property which seems to be the last property that change on the repeater when the window opens.

Any suggestions?

Figured it out, modifying the `templateParams` property on the repeater works as intended.
