Repeat Grid - Styles

Repeat Grids are amazing.

However, I've found multiple occasions where I want to change a style in one element of a group but don't want this to effect all of my repeated groups.

It may be that this element I want to change is a link for one particular group but it shouldn't be a link in another. So far, I've did a bit of a workaround by copying the element from the group, clicking out of the repeated grid and then pasting in place and changing the style to the element which now sits on top of the repeat grid.

It would be great of the first group in the Repeat Grid was the master of all element styles. However if you change a style in a repeated group below the master then it only changes within that selected group, rather than throughout the whole repeat grid.

Thanks, Mark

    Elaine, what I have noticed is that if you double click text (actually select the type inside the container) within a repeat grid you can colour one item differently from the others which is amazing. If this could be done for graphics too, that would be a step in right direction and hopefully not that heard to implement given that the text does it already...? So it would look like this: 1 of 2: Click to select a graphical object and then change it's colour and it effects all repeat grid items the same (it currently does this). 2 of 2 (New function) Double click the graphical object (so into point editing mode) and if you change the colour of the object then, it only effects that object not all the others. Could this be done?

    Ah, I'd thought they were slightly different from what I was posting but maybe not! I've upvoted number 2 from Anirudhs comment. Thanks! Feel free to delete this idea.

    Hi Mark,

    Thank you for your post and your feedback on Repeat Grid.

    > I want to change a style in one element of a group but don't want this to effect all of my repeated groups.

    This is on our backlog and we're pretty excited to support this in the future. Let me point you to existing feature requests. There are 3 variants:

    1. Mark one particular item in a repeat grid cell as "overridden", the rest still get styles from edits - https://adobexd.uservoice.com/forums/353007-adobe-xd-feature-requests/suggestions/13050780-repeat-grid-overrides-inheritance

    2. Mark one entire cell in a repeat grid as "overridden" - https://adobexd.uservoice.com/forums/353007/suggestions/13075821-exceptions-in-repeat-grid

    3. Template based approach: https://adobexd.uservoice.com/forums/353007/suggestions/13035219-conditional-repeat-grid-contents

    More votes on any of these would be great. We're definitely excited about the future and possibilities that open up as Repeat Grid starts to evolve further.

    Cheers,
    Anirudh
