I’m not able to comment on my original posts about custom variables and Paywall variants.


But please add this functionality so I don’t have to duplicate my text layers all the time.
Also would be nice to be able to swap an image/video from the Rules interface. 

In both cases I need to duplicate the components, then make sur they are all hidden by default, then active then manually.
And If I have a styling change to do, I’ll have to do it manually on all my components. 

The new variables are great, it will work. But it doesn’t seem like been completely thought through for actual usage, it’s quite cumbersome.

Hi ​@JFBeaulieu, thank you for this feedback, I can pass this along to our paywalls team. To clarify, you are looking to have duplicated components share the same rules and those changes, i.e. modified text/visibliity, and the ability to change the style across multiple components?

Hi ​@Haley Pace , thanks for that.
No, not exactly. I’m looking to not have to create duplicated components in the first place.

There are 3 types of ‘variables’ to base Rules on:
Custom Variables, Selected Package and Active Offer.

There is 3 options to modify elements in the Rules right now:
Show Layer, Add Layer and Modify Text Layer.

Show Layer and Add Layer are available for all 3 base rules.
But Modify Text Layer is available for Selected Package and Active Offer only.
It is not available in Custom Variables rules.

This causes me to have to duplicate the components. And creates a bunch of other issues to manage. Changing styles across multiple components is not needed if I don’t need to duplicate components in the first place.

For example, I received a custom variable that is the user’s favorite activity. There are 5 possible ones.
My paywall has a photo hero and a header.
I want to change the image and the header text depending on the value of my custom variable.
ie. custom variable value is ‘baseball’: Header: Ready to play ball? Image: A baseball player.
And so on for 5 sports.
Because I can only use show/hide layers, doing this currently means duplicating the hero image 5 times, and the header component 5 times.
