When setting a container to have a “column” or vertical layout, my items are still side by side.

Hey there @Aj_Pfeil - thank you!

You like to have two coloumns one below the other, right?

Could you provide me with a preview link or a website ID? Like to take a look.

I believe I have the issue resolved… It seems that each element by default is set to 100% (kinda odd), but if we set the width to “auto” the container display option (row, column etc) seems to work that way. Is there a way to set the CMS up so that the default size is AUTO?
