Description
Description
Making a change to a template gives an inapplicable diff. Below the diff. These settings are not changed by the user at all. In this case the only thing that was changed is the width and height of the element component of the child entity.
Steps to Reproduce
- Create an entity with child entity that has an element component
- Make a new template of this entity
- Duplicate this entity
- Make some changes in width/height of the element component
- Apply change to all
