I’ve been working intensively with the new Components & Slots architecture (currently on v2.2 RC) for the past week. While the workflow is powerful, I’m hitting a major productivity roadblock:
The Issue: When copying a Component instance from one page to another, the content within the Slots is lost. Only the “naked” component instance is pasted, requiring me to manually re-fill every slot on the new page.
Why this is a problem: Especially with complex components (e.g., Cards or Sections that contain other nested components/inner-slots), the manual re-assembly on every page is very time-consuming. It defeats the “build once, reuse everywhere” philosophy if the specific instance data (the slot content) isn’t portable.
Is there a way to change this behavior? In my opinion, it would be a much better option to transfer the entire component including all slot contents. Even if I don’t need every single element on the destination page, it is much easier and faster to simply delete a few redundant items than to rebuild the entire structure within the slots from scratch every time.
