Description
The more I am using the new Pattern Content Only experience (tied to the "Content" Inspector controls) the more I think we need to come up with a way to mark additional sections within a larger pattern as unique elements.
Take this Pattern here for example. It essentially consists of a Group that contains a Grid which has 3 items next to one another that are again grouped which then all contain similar elements.
In the experience as it stands today, this is creating a subpar experience because:
- Editors are not able to rearrange the individual items inside the grid (move person A into the middle for example)
- The content sidebar is rather overwhelming because there are lots of repeating elements without an easy way to see which card they belong to.
This becomes even more extreme when the Content DataFields experiment is active:
It would be nice if we could "tag" the cards inside the grid, and the grid itself as container elements that then allow the user to select them, change content settings of them, and rearrange them. And in the inspector use the same drill down experience we are using for individual blocks in #75407
(This is another one of the reasons why I think we need #71573 if we really want to ship this feature as is in 7.0 :))
