Components inside components

Posted on by JakobAnkerHanse 27
I am trying to insert a simple component, I have built, inside another component, that I am building...
 
When I try to insert my component, in the "insert-menu", I can see my own custom components, under "Custom", but they are greayed out and cannot be inserted...
 
Am I doing something wrong, is this by design, and/or is there a workaround...?
 
If I build my components under the "component library", will I then be able to insert these components  in other components at the App-level ?
 
Thanks in advance...

    As far as I know you cannot nest components. The workaround it typically building something that can do both. You can use SVG for custom updating interfaces using custom output properties to make a multifunctional component.
