Unable to set auto-height property for a Label inside a component using a custom property

[Smemmi]

I have created a PowerApps component which has a Label inside. I want to be able to set the value of the Label's "Auto-height" property from the component. So I created a custom property lets say I called it "LabelAutoHeight", which is an Input property type and a date type Boolean. Now I try to set the Label's Auto-height property to look at this custom property but whenever I try to type anything in there it just seems to reset to "false". Seems like a bug to me so just posting here.

No surprising.  Many of the AutoHeight and Flexible Height options available to controls do not function properly in Components.  They should be avoided until that capability is developed into the components properly.

Personally have been down that road a few times to try and integrate in flexible height options to the component, only to endlessly fail and have to revert back to doing it within the screen.

Components are considered "released", but there are still so many aspects of them that (IMHO) they should be still considered "experimental".

I hope this is helpful for you.

That is a shame and throws a spanner in the works. Thanks for making me aware of this and at least I won't keep chasing my tail!

Yes, I have a couple of "pre-built" test-apps that try to utilize the auto height capabilities of controls.  Since there is no real "here's what is really new." guide for PowerApps releases, I run those periodically to see if the issues have been resolved...to this date - No!

That's a good idea. Please let me know if it does change and I'll keep an eye out too.
