Decode/Understand git .yaml file - grid_position: "ODUQIX,ATGAUX"

Anvil Q&A

I am using git as a form of backup for my site.
Looking at the .yaml files, I can figure out all of the dictionary properties, except this one:
grid_position: “ODUQIX,ATGAUX”
I am guessing they are x and y coordinates but can anyone tell me how to decode them?

Those look like two column ids separated by a comma.

Try searching for one of those ids on the yaml and see where it is used. You may find that it’s used to define the column a component sits in, or the width or a column.

Stefano,
I did a global search of all my .yaml files and did not find another occurrence of “ODUQIX” or “ATGAUX”.
There seems to be a unique "grid_position: " for each of my “RichText” and “Image” components.

A RichText is a container… perhaps that’s an id that could be used by its content?
