Describe the bug
How to reproduce the bug?
- This is my template which I uploaded in Grapes in which I have inline CSS in a style tag in the head as well as an inline style in body tags https://jsfiddle.net/spiral417/udye5ov1/
- First-time Grapesjs fetched inline CSS from body tags and insert random ids and put CSS in these ids. so I'm saving all CSS styles but when I use this same template a second time and setStyle which grapes provided then grapes is not accepting this style which it created the first time with random ids only accepting head style CSS which is properly with the class so due to this on second-time style is not implementing
I provided also the link in which grapes js created CSS style with random ids which are not accepting on settle on the second time https://jsfiddle.net/spiral417/uo8fLba5/1/
What is the expected behavior? The expected behavior is that the grapes js editor should accept and should setStyle on the second time also which it created the first time with random ids
What is the current behavior? The current behavior is that the grapes js editor is not accepting CSS style with random ids which it created the first time

Thanks for reporting this, @abubaker417.
Great question about on second-time use template grapes editor not accepting css which the editor created with random ids on the first time. The recommended approach with StyleManager is to use the event-driven API.
Start here:
- Check the GrapesJS documentation for your specific module
- Look for the
on()event listener method - Most operations can be achieved by listening to editor and component events
Common patterns:
// Listen for changes
editor.on('change', () => console.log('something changed'));
// Component lifecycle
editor.on('component:mount', (c) => console.log('component ready', c));
editor.on('component:update', (c) => console.log('component updated', c));
If you're still stuck:
- Share a minimal CodeSandbox reproduction
- Include what you've already tried
- Mention your GrapesJS version
