I am trying to make a reusable element fully responsive, but it’s impossible to do without a command which retrieves the current width of the reusable element. It would be analogous to the “current page width” command.

Hey Nico,

Are you running into certain problems? It should be perfectly possible to create a responsive reusable without the need for commands like that. Just make sure to use the right settings (f.y. container layout row or column, alignment, min and max width settings of groups, the elements in the groups etc. etc.

I have trouble to collapsing element within reusable element, the old engine allowed us to show/hide depend to its parent container width. Is there a way to do this in new responsive engine?
