Description

What type of issue is this?

Missing compatibility data

What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?

The place-items shorthand and the align-items and justify-items longhands were originally just for flex and grid. Now they are for all elements. The BCD lists support lines for flex and grid, but not all relevant elements, which came later.

What browsers does this problem apply to, if applicable?

No response

What did you expect to see?

another line in the bcd for "applies to all elements"
