Enhancement: Use group node multiple times

Open sbolten opened this issue 8 years ago • 1 comments

Example:

  1. I organized my dashboard by rooms in my house (one tab - one room)
  2. Within the tabs I have groups for things like (light, audio, ...)
  3. Then I have an additional tab for light (to get an overview of all light in the house

It would be desirable to reuse i.e. a light switch which I used on a "room" tab in another tab (in my case the overview tab - see above). Currently I have to copy paste the ui nodes in order to use them multiple times.

Regards,

Stephan

correct - a widget can only belong to one group and a group can only belong to one tab. That is as designed. There are no current plans to change this.

In general we prefer ideas and discussion initially on the mailing list or slack so that a wider audience can participate in the discussion.
