Is it possible to change the type of a component in App Designer?

4 views (last 30 days)
I am using an Edit Field component in an app and half way through development I have decided I'd rather have it as a Spinner component. Is there a way to directly replace that Edit Field component with a Spinner (or add the spinner functionality to it) without simply deleting the edit field and creating a new spinner? If I take that approach I have to connect all the back-end up to the new component which I'd rather avoid.

You could copy&paste the callback function of the edit field to that of the new spinner. You could rename the new spinner within the component browser to be that of the previous editfield. Then if you rename it again, it would refactor your code.
