I have a template that I use inside a popup. The size is pretty-well fixed and I'd like to not change it.

I have another page that uses a template repeater to show multiple instances of this popup on the same page for operator convenience. How can I shrink the template instances within the repeater to help them fit nicer?

Use a template canvas?

That changes my datasets a bit... I'll try it out.

It's not ideal because if I want things to be easily changable again in the future I either have to use cell update bindings (ew) or it's a bit of manual work.

On Phil's behalf I'll plug his toolkit module that could probably generate the canvas dataset via an expression.

You could also use a script, of course. It would probably be possible to write a single script that adapts your current repeater dataset to the canvas via property change?
