Style Manager setTarget does not work
Thanks @maryia-kabash found the issue, will be fixed in the next release!
Read full answer below ↓Question
Version: 0.16.22
What is the expected behavior? setTarget allows styling a CSS rule different from the selected component
Describe the bug Upon calling setTarget method Style Manager still has a selected component as styling target
What is the current behavior? setTarget doesn't update this.propTarget.model (updates this.propTarget.targets instead). Please compare the file style_manager\view\SectorsView.js:
Version 0.14.62 https://prnt.sc/v28tc2
Version 0.16.22 https://prnt.sc/v28ttv

Hello @artf ! I have a question regarding this fix - setTarget now updates classes in Class section correctly, but Style Manager doesn't reflect the actual styles. Please see - https://prnt.sc/vfzuvv Maybe these is an event that can be triggered to update the values in Style Manager?
Thanks for the report and the suggestion Maryia. The fix will be available in the next release (I hope to publish it tomorrow)
