Hi Christoffer,
This is an issue we are currently facing as well.

With what you have available in Swift, currently, you cannot accomplish what you need without complicating the upgrade.

We have overcome this by creating an Item type and set all Rows to inherit it.

On that ItemType we have created a Group "Custom" and a property "Css rule".

If all rows inherit this Item, the group and property will show up on all of them.

Of course, it means that you have to remember to adjust all RowItemTypes from Swift before making the upgrade.

Your need makes sense to be turned into a Feature request.

Hi

Yes, this is what is currently doable. Not optimal but part of the game.

You can make css changes in custom css only without changing the item types. Of course if it is an additional row-setting, it is not possible.

What is the change you have made?

In this case, the parallax effect on the row background image is not going to be active all the time, but should be something that can be added on some rows. Christoffer and i have talked about that many things could be solved by being able to add a class in a textfield on the row, so we had a custom class to do styling for, without having to make copies of the row item types. This goes for the columns as well. 

Would it be possible that you could add a text field for adding custom classes on all row and column items, that add the class to the outer div of a row/column? Seems like a change that could solve many but not all customization needs? 

Hi Tina

Yes - we will consider this as part of making it as easy as possible to customize Swift. Great with examples of what you need to extend so we understand the needs and can find a way to accomodate it.

You're welcome Nicolai :) 

If you only need to make custom styling for a row/element, but doesn't need to change anything else, the possiblilty to add a custom class would be really nice, so you could avoid making copies of both the template and item type.

Or even better, it would be great if row wasnt tied so hard to columns, i am thinking like having a row item, with a list of columns, so that row is one item with x amount of columns. and even more better if a column could have settings for column width, so we only need 1 column item. that would be really nice :-)
