LiveCode Forums.

I created a group that just displays some very basic information about an item I'm editing over 12 cards. I put this header into a group. Now I've found that I'm accidentally forgotten one field in the header.

Is there a way I can add a field to a background group without having to delete the old group and manually place the group on each of the 12 cards where it is needed?

Thanks in advance.

Ooops. I didn't look far enough.

There are the "start editing" and "stop editing" group commands. In addition it was staring me in the face in the LiveCode tool bar.

These are extremely useful commands.

Hi,

s there a way I can add a field to a background group without having to delete the old group and manually place the group on each of the 12 cards where it is needed?

If you change a background group, it is changed for all cds with this background group

For scripted solutions, use "create <control> in group <groupname>". For example:

create button "Click Me" in group "mainGrp"
