Resizable Insets

When adding insets to a UI Template (specifically Images), I would love the ability to select size variations (small/Medium/Large) or specify a size (1-100). This would allow for much more customization for UI. 

Current Use Case: I have a UI Template with 3 Insets (Images) and I would like them to appear larger for the user. 

Note: I see the "Height" variable and have researched/tested this but I do not think this is related to size only position.

  Hello Brendan, I am certain we have something cooking but I would prefer our Create Product Manager, Gilles Van de Sompel speak to this shortly. Thank you for your patience.

  Hi Brendan,

  Thanks for your feedback.

  The height parameter should indeed influence the size of the image inset, just as you described.

  The fact it doesn't update in the UI Preview seems to be a bug and I was also able to reproduce it. I filed a bug for it (internal reference 3224) and I will discuss it with the development team this week to confirm when we could find a resolution and target fix date.

  As Precious mentioned, meanwhile we are also working on a complete overhaul of the UI system, with the goal to offer much more flexibility to create UI for our end users. We are targeting to release a first version of this in the second half of this year.

  Have a great week!

  Hello Precious/Gilles

  Thanks for the prompt responses and clarifications. I am really excited to hear about the updated UI system; I am sure it will be a great new addition.
  I am curious, how will this new update affect current released content / UI Templates? Will current projects be affected with the new UI System or will there just be new functionality added? 
  
  Thanks!

  Hi Brendan,

  Once the new UI system releases, projects will be ported into the new system upon opening.

  So you will have the same functionality, and more.

  Since today we have some inconsistency issues between Create and the app that we want to solve with this update, some minor visual/positional differences can be expected, primarily to ensure consistency between the Create UI preview/simulation mode and the app experience.

  Please let us know if you have any additional questions.
